Former toll house, in residential use, built in 1830 with later additions. It is a single-storey and attic, three-bay, rectangular-plan building that is constructed from V-jointed, rusticated, finely finished granite with a tooled pink granite base course, recessed and segmental-arched door and window surrounds with voussoir details, an eaves cornice and predominantly 12-pane timber sash and case windows with a variety of later glazing. The piended graded grey slate roof has lead ridges, overhanging timber eaves, cast-iron rainwater goods and a coped triple ridge stack and coped gablehead and wallhead stacks with circular cans. The principal north-east elevation has a granite doorway with slightly recessed panels surmounted by a decorative fanlight and with a two-leaf panelled timber doo. There are windows to the flanking bays. The single-bay south-east elevation has a tripartite window with a decorative fanlight matching the doorway and a gableted dormer to the attic floor. There is a harled two-bay addition to the south with finely finished margins and projecting cills. It has a bipartite window to the bay to the east, a 16-light window to the south and a segmental-arched dormer to the attic flanked to the east by a two-pane skylight. The gabled south-west elevation is of granite rubble, and has an off-centre window to the south of the ground floor, and a squared and snecked pink granite lean-to addition to the west. A later window with a top hopper is set in an infilled doorway. The single-bay north-west elevation has a blinded window to the centre of the ground floor with an intricately carved decorative timber panel, and there is a gableted dormer to the attic floor. To the west is a three-bay, squared and snecked pink sandstone addition with a glazed boarded timber doorway to the bay to the west and irregularly placed windows to the remainder. There is a skylight to the north of the attic floor and a flat-roofed addition with a bipartite window to the west. To the north-east is a low granite coped boundary wall, surmounted by radial patterned cast-iron railings with rosette roundels at intersections and urn finials. There is a pedestrian two-leaf gate to the east with square-plan ironwork gatepiers, and a vehicle gate to the north with a two-leaf gate and square-plan, rough-faced gatepiers with pyramidal caps. At the centre and eastern end of the wall there are coped, circular-plan piers, with the one to the east adjoining Aboyne Bridge (NO59NW0021). There is also a single-storey and attic, single-bay, square-plan granite rubble garage with a double sliding glazed boarded-timber door to the north-east, a window to the south-west, a boarded timber door to the south-east and dormers to the attic. It has a piended grey slate roof with a cement ridge, overhanging eaves and cast-iron rainwater goods.
