The National Monuments Service's description
On a wide terrace on the steep S side of a valley of a tributary of the Roughty River. According to Bary (1994, 223), it 'may have been built in two phases; the first, the front entrance, gable-ended with rubble walls; and the second of three large bows sweeping around the house, with extremely large windows and a door leading out into the garden. The bow fronts are of ashlar'. The house is of 18th/19th-century appearance.
