Steading, still in use, built in 1790-1800. It is a large, quadrangular-plan steading, constructed from squared and coursed granite ashlar with pinnings (cherry-cocking), ashlar dressings and a band course. The buildings include stables, byres and a threshing floor. Cattle courts to the centre are now partly demolished. The doors have letterbox fanlights. Some windows are boarded, and others have a lying-pane glazing pattern. The piended roof has grey slates and corniced ashlar stacks. The two-stage east elevation has a pedimented entrance tower at the centre, with a depressed arched pend at the ground and a band course above. There is a pointed arched window to the first stage and two oval vents above to a dovecot. The pediment has a blue and gold enamelled clock and there is a gabled ashlar bellcote with bell to the gablehead. Five-bay piended ranges flank, with former stables to one side and byres to the other. The tower is piended to the courtyard, with a pointed arched window at the first stage and small blocked openings above. The west elevation has a central tower with pend as above, but without a clock and a stack has replaced the. Four-bay ranges flank, with doors between windows and four windows at the first floor. The south elevation was formerly domestic, incorporating two two-storey cottages with adjacent outbuildings. The north elevation has a two-storey threshing barn and an ashlar coped, rubble vehicular ramp adjoining at the ground, rising to double doors at the first floor that break the eaves in a piended dormer. There are large sliding doors at the ground, windows to the first floor and a wooden slatted floor inside. The ashlar-coped walls of the cattle courts remain in the court, with doors at the ground with windows flanking and smaller windows at the first floor. The steading is one of a group of structures consisting a walled garden (NJ65SW0064), a farmhouse (NK65SW0066) a smithy (NJ65SW0067), and mill (NJ65SW0154).
