Mansion, still in residential use, built by Archibald Simpson, probably in 1835. It is set within a designed landscape (NJ70NW0129) with an associated home farm to the north (NJ71SW0171). The small mansion house is two-storey with a low first floor, and is a severe classic building that is harled with granite dressings and a low pitched broad-eaved roof. Its simple masterly asymmetrical composition has symmetrical elements. The main part of the house is three-window with consoled ground floor windows and the centre projects with a round arched porch and canted bay to the north. The lower U-plan southern part has a symmetrical south front.
