An unusual house style for Killearn, this later Arts and Crafts style of English vernacular architecture can also be found at Bolton Muir in East Lothian (see LB1417). The thatch and windows are of particular importance to Drumwhirn's character.
It is among a relatively small number of buildings with a thatched roof found across Scotland. A Survey of Thatched Buildings in Scotland, published in 2016 by the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB), found there were only around 200 buildings with thatched roofs. Listed building record revised in 2020 as part of the Thatched Buildings Listing Review.
