Description

Stylistically, like the work of David Bryce, and mid 19th century in appearance, possibly as a shooting lodge (though pre-existing work has been incorporated). Unusual composition, principally a T-plan with 2-storey 2-bay front (S) range with prominent pair canted ground floor bays corbelled to square at 1st floor, and gabled; no doorway central on that front; low rear wing altered by modern sun lounge addition at W.

Contrasting materials - roughly-coursed whinstone, red ashlar dressings, projecting timber-bracketted eaves; original glazing (sash and case vertically-proportioned panes), roofs covered with graded slates.

Timber brace and finial at E gable head (similar arrangement presumably existed once on W gable); also finial over centre dormer on S front, which lies squeezed between outer bays. Ashlar chimney stacks.

Also lower ranges to N and NE, forming courtyard; also extensive group of single storey outbuildings to rear, whitewashed rubble.
