House, still in use, probably built by William Smith in 1860. Masonry work was carried out by Beaton, carpentry by Watson, slating by Duncan and plasterwork by Mitchell. It is a two-storey, gabled, L-plan house with the first floor breaking the eaves. The house has Tudor details, and is constructed from squared and coursed granite with a base course. The grey slate roof has overhanging eaves, gablehead stacks and decorative loop barge boards to the porch and dormer windows, with kingposts and finials. The three-bay north-east elevation has a stone gabled porch at the centre in a re-entrant angle formed with a slightly advanced bay to the north, which has a window at the ground and hoodmoulded window in the gablehead at first floor. The return elevation has a Tudor-arched doorway with a panelled door and fanlight and a narrow window. The bay to the east has a window at the ground and swept-gabled dormer window breaking the eaves above. The north-west elevation has a gable to the north with a raised chimneybreast flanked by windows at the ground (one blind) and a small first floor window. A larger window to the west has a gabled dormer breaking the eaves at the first floor above. The south-east elevation has the gable end of the entrance wing to the east, with a narrow window and blind window at the ground and blind arrowslits flanking a corbelled chimneybreast above. There is a later, gabled stone projection was added by the re-entrant angle to the rear. A Rectangular-plan, gabled, slatted timber shed to the south is partially set into the steep slope to the rear of house, and has multi-pane fixed timber windows and graded grey slates.
