Former farmhouse, still in residential use, built in the late 18th century. It is a two-storey, three-bay, T-plan, symmetrical, harled rubble granite building with painted margins to the openings and squared courses to the rybats and quoins. Four-pane sash and case windows are used. The grey slate roof has lead flashing, coped gable stacks and skews with scrolled skew putts. The principal south elevation has regular fenestration with a door to the centre. There is a two-storey advanced gabled wing to the centre of the rear elevation and canted, single-storey additions to the returns of the main block. The gable ends have irregular fenestration. The house has similar scrolled skewputts to the old parish church (NJ40SE0012) and Aberdeen Arms Hotel (NJ40SE0159) in Tarland, suggesting the work of the same masons.
