Home farm and stables, still in use, built in the later 18th century as the home farm to, and set within the designed landscape of, Finzean House (NO59SE0045). Historic OS maps depict a pond to the north-west of the quadrangular steading. Current OS maps show the pond has been infilled. It is a two-storey, nine-bay, courtyard-plan classical home farm and stables that are harled with finely finished granite margins, a base course, dividing band course, eaves course and strip quoins. Predominantly 12-pane and 6-pane timber windows are used. There is a modern, felt, piended roof to the south, a lean-to corrugated roof to the remainder and cast-iron rainwater goods. The symmetrical principal south elevation has a pedimented bay with a round-arched pend to the courtyard, flanked by round-arched niches at the ground floor and blind windows to the first floor, and there is an oculus set in the centre of the pediment. The flanking three bays on both sides have regular fenestration. The outer bays are slightly advanced, with an eaves blocking course stepped-up to the centre and two-leaf sliding doors to broad openings with boarded round arched tympana. The other elevation have irregularly placed boarded timber doors and irregular boarded and infilled window openings. The courtyard elevations are of coursed granite rubble, with infilled segmental-arched openings to the west and the remainder with irregular boarded doorways, windows and infilled openings.
