Description

19th century. Single storey, harl-pointed and lime-washed 3-bay, gabled croft house with rounded corners. Door to centre with windows flanking; small single window at centre to rear; blank side elevations. Timber sash and case windows, later timber hopper window to rear. Red corrugated-iron roof. Stone gablehead stacks with terracotta cans.

Statement of Interest

Almost certainly the only croft house on the island with rounded corners and in traditional, unaltered form. Representative of the crofting community complementing the more lavish residential provision of tacksman housing and manses.
