Farmstead, still in use, with the remains of a C-listed farmhouse that is early 19th century in its present form. It is shown on the 1st edition OS map as a U-plan steading with a horsemill attached to the west, a rectangular building within the court and two rectangular buildings to the east and south. On the 2nd edition OS map a third building has been added to the north-west. Current OS maps show the horsemill and building within the court have been removed, as has the building to the north-west. The building to the south has been replaced or incorporated within a larger U-plan building, and the C-listed farmhouse to the east is depicted as roofless. The farmhouse is two-storey and three-window, with a rough ashlar granite front and a projecting eaves course. The gables are of a narrow proportion and are constructed from rubble, apparently incorporating older work. The farmhouse was probably the manse of 1774 for the Burgher congregation whose church (1762) was absorbed into buildings of the farm when the a new church was built at Buffle in 1791. RCAHMS site visit 1994 noted that the ruins of the (1762) church stand about 40m north of the farmhouse. Built of mortared rubble and aligned circa east-west, it has been severely robbed. The west end has been demolished and the north side rebuilt as a field wall/ The interior has been concreted over and at the time of visit was used to hold manure. The 1762 datestone remains over the door in the south side wall.
