Former manse and steading range, depicted on the 1st and 2nd edition OS maps. It is depicted on the 1st edition OS map as an F-plan manse with an L-plan steading to the rear. There is a walled garden enclosure to the south and various enclosures to the north and east. On the 2nd edition OS map, there are buildings depicted to the north and east of the manse and steading, and an additional two enclosures to the north. Current maps show the enclosure to the north-west has been enlarged, and further buildings added to the east, north-east and west of the manse and steading. The manse was built in 1803 using stone from the offices of Invermark Castle (NO48SW0006), with additions in 1828 and possibly later. It is a two-storey, three-bay gabled building with single-storey, one-bay pavilions flanking each gable. One of the rear wings creating the F-plan is two-storey, and the other is single-storey. There is an advanced central bay with a porch, although the doorway has been partially blocked to form a window. There are corniced gablehead stacks with octagonal clay cans, and a graded Scottish slate roof with ridge tiles. The former steading range is constructed from rubble with roughly squared quoins and ashlar-coped skews. There are two, two-leaf doors to a carriage shed in the short range. There is a Welsh slate roof with stone or terracotta ridge tiles. The walled garden adjoins the south corner of the manse. It is a random rubble walled enclosure with a rough pointed arch over the gateway in the north-west wall. The building to the north-east of the manse and steading is a pig sty with a small adjoining pen and a stone slate roof. The building to the east is a bothy, probably dating from the 20th century. It is constructed from roughly-squared granite with long and short quoins. It has a Welsh slate piended roof with metal flashings. There are random rubble walls partially enclosing the site, with the ruinous remains of sheep pens (fanks) to the north.
