The Department's description
Exterior description and setting
A two bay, single storey vernacular cottage aligned W-E sloping with the gradient of the hill to E.
Pitched corrugated metal roof with two cement-rendered chimneys - one to centre and one to right gable. Cement skews to each gable. No rainwater goods, only the remains of a metal gutter above the door.
Walls are whitewashed and lime rendered apart from façade, which is wet dashed and whitewashed. Principal elevation faces N. To extreme left end is the entrance with a bead moulded t+g sheeted door. To its right are two small plainly detailed window openings without cills. That to left bay has a single fixed pane. That to right bay is a 6/3 sliding sash.
Left gable has the ghost marks of a former lower narrower outbuilding (part of its wall remains to left of door).
Rear elevation has a single fixed pane window opening to each bay.
Right gable is blank.
Outbuilding:
A small concrete yard separates the house and single storey/ single bay outbuilding opposite the house at E end of yard. Roof and walls are detailed as house. There is a modern timber sheeted door to right of centre with a single fixed pane window to its immediate left. All other faces are blank. Its right gable has a small rubble stone pigsty with enclosing wall. This has a corrugated monopitched roof and whitewashed / rendered random rubble walls.
Setting:
Set off the Brogies Road in a lower sheltered site, it has a maturely planted boundary. Enclosed to road by a modern stone wall.
Historical information
It is unclear whether this building is shown on the 1835 or 1861 OS maps. The 1862 second Valuation notes "some alterations are about being made on this leased land", and it is possible that this house was erected around that time.

Evaluation
An attractive vernacular house set off the road in a low concealed site and sloping with the gradient of the hillside. It retains much of its original internal fabric. Along with its small outbuilding it forms a picturesque group.
