Coachhouse and stables, dating from circa 1840. Quadrangular-plan, with entrance pend with tower and haylofts. The buildings are harled, with Turriff red sandstone margins. The north elevation has a central 2-stage tower with segmental-arched vehicular pend with a window above with ashlar hood mould. There is also a pedimented gable with an armorial plaque and die finial. The tower is flanked by 2-bay ranges with windows at ground level. The boarded hayloft windows above are close under the eaves. The stables lie in the south elevation with windows and modern slappings at ground level. The loft doors are at first floor level, breaking the eaves in gabled dormer-heads. The courtyard has round-arched cart-arches with a cottage to the east and west. The interior of the stable range has stalls to the east and loose boxes to the west. There are boarded trevises with cast-iron railings and ball finialled hind posts with blue hexagonal tiles above hay-hecks. The windows are sash and case windows with 12-pane glazing pattern. The roof has grey slates with ashlar coped skews and stacks. To the east of the stables are the remains of a gasometer.
