Timber casement windows with small-pane upper panels. Decorative rainwater hoppers. Red brick wallhead and mutual gable stacks. Clay ridge finials to piended principal roof.

BOUNDARY WALL: low bull-faced sandstone garden wall to front with ashlar coping.
The mask corbels and interior panelling, possibly taken from a ship, together with the plaque on the cottage gable, give this semidetached property particular interest. In design terms, such full-blown English Arts and Crafts is unusual for Angus.
