Ballogie House lies within the remains of a 17th to 19th century designed landscape. It was built in 1982-3 by Mr Paterson on the site of its predecessor. The earlier house was built in 1852-5 by James Mattews for James Dyce Nicol, with later additions by Matthews and Mackenzie in 1885, and was itself built on the site of an earlier house. The 1st and 2nd edition OS maps show the 19th century house as a large irregular building with various projecting wings. Current maps show the present house as a smaller rectangular building. The 19th century building was an asymmetrical late classic, two-storey and basement house with bull-faced quoin angles and bay window features and a lower two-storey wing with an oblong water tower. A single-storey porch had slim Roman-Doric columns. The current house is two-storey, and has a central doorway with sidelights and a fanlight. To the east of the house were the stables built in 1832, now a steading (NO59NE0097) A gasometer lay just 30m to the north-east of the stables. The walled garden (NO59NE0096) lies 300m to the north-east of the house, within which is a sundial dated 1725 (NO59NE0098). To the east of the walled garden is a gamekeppers bothy and kennels (NO59NE0099). There is another sundial dated 1755 directly to the south-west of the house (NO59NE0085).
