The National Monuments Service's description

At the bottom of an E-facing slope, and at the W edge of a broad, flat-bottomed valley. This is a rectangular two storey three-bay house (ext. dims 12.75m E-W; 7.35m N-S), which is still occupied, with a return at the centre of the S side. It had large chimneystacks which have been replaced, and the fireplaces are blocked. It once had a stairs return on the N side. The house once extended further E with a room containing a fireplace and oven, and a fragment of its N wall remains (L 5.75m). The original plan and large chimney-stacks suggest that it might date to the 17th century. A datestone (RO042-105002-) of 1770 and a sillstone from Kellybrook castle (RO042-102001-) c. 500m to the N are kept at the house. Archaeological testing (19E0788) by A. Carey immediately to the W produced no related material (excavations. Ie 2019:0788).
