House, still in use, built in the early 19th century but possibly incorporating 17th century fabric, and renovated in 1975. It is a two-storey and attic, three-bay terraced harled house with stone margins and a base course. The grey slate roof has coped brick and harled stacks. The principal south elevation has a central deep-set timber door and adjacent small square window, a broad window in a bay to the east right and a timber door in a blocked, corbel-linteled pend. The pend was formerly known as Walter Yett, and was once the principal entrance to the town from the north. A metal plaque set above, erected by Stonehaven Heritage Society in 1991, records that 'Prior to 1975 grooves used for a portcullis could be seen'. The first floor has three windows, with those to the outer bays being broader, and slate-hung canted dormers over the outer bays, flanking two later single windows in a mansard link.
