Manse, built in 1788 with early-19th century additions, and further modern alterations. It is shown on the 1st edition OS map as an irregular building with projections on the north elevation. There is a U-plan steading and rectangular building to the north, and a garden to the west. On the 2nd edition OS map, there is an additional rectangular building to the north. Current maps show the buildings to the north have been removed. The manse is a two-storey, three-bay, L-plan house with single-storey wings of squared and snecked dressed rubble with ashlar dressings, and it is harled to north and east. The east wall is dated 1634 and has a parapet dry rubble wall with flat coping, with the inset initialled datestone to the south-east and a badly eroded carved stone to the north-east. The manse also features advanced and recessed bays and canted bay windows, a blind roundel in the west elevation gable, stone mullions, urn finials to the east and south elevations, coped ashlar stacks on grey slate roofs, and ashlar-coped skews and block skewputts. There are square corniced ashlar gatepiers and decorative cast-iron gates to the west. There are also smaller square ball-finialled gatepiers to the east. There are coped rubble boundary walls. A number of stone urns are set on pillar along the east boundary wall. A pictish stone stands in the garden (NO34NE0002).
