Details Townhouse, still in residential use, built in the early 17th century with later alterations, including a slightly raised wallhead. It is a three-storey, four-bay, L-plan, harled terraced town house with painted ashlar margins. The graded grey slate roof has a stone ridge and later rooflight, coped and harled gablehead stacks with some cans and ashlar-coped skews. An early photograph shows the house formerly had crowstepped gables. The principal north elevation has a broad moulded doorpiece to the east, which is now weathered with traces of ornament, with a two-leaf, vertically-boarded timber pend door. A metal plaque is set above, installed by Stonehaven Heritage Society in 1991 and detailing the history of the building. To the east of the door is an arrowslit opening, and there are three windows in bays to the west. Each floor above has regular fenestration, and there is a corbelled out stair turret projecting from the eaves at the second floor.
