Circa 1800, with later alterations and additions. 2-storey and attic 3-bay near-symmetrical house of rectangular plan with gabled single storey store to rear forming L-plan. Harled and whitewashed rubble walls to house, harl-pointed rubble walls and timber framing to store.

NW AND SE GABLES: blank.
SW (REAR) ELEVATION: store advanced at left, single loft window centring original SW gable, extended in rubble at right, timber framing to SE side with large vertically-boarded timber doors, tarred roof; modern single storey addition in re-entrant angle to right (obscuring centre bay) with modern 4-pane glazing in window to right; windows in outer bays only at 1st floor.
4-pane timber sash and case windows; grey slate roof; harled skew-copes and coped gablehead stacks with circular cans.
GARDEN WALL: drystone rubble wall enclosing garden to NE tapering to N.
Prior to addition of the (probably mid to later 19th century) dormers, this house appears to have conformed to the pattern of the Shetland merchant haas with their high wallhead concealing an attic. The harl-pointed section of the end gable of the store shows the original size of the building before enlargement with timber framing to the SE side to accommodate the large timber doors. This house forms a good group with neighbouring Seafield, and the Haa of Bayhall which, with their piers, form a focus to the centre of Walls.
