This house is one of three identical houses built by the Duke of Devonshire for tenant farmers. The other two houses are located in Glenastra North and Clashaganniv. This house is a fine example of the early Tudor Revival style which became popular in the early nineteenth century. The façade is enlivened by the gable-fronted breakfront, the form of which is mirrored by the dormer windows. The building retains interesting features and materials such as the slate roof, small-pane windows and timber bargeboards. The site retains its solidly built outbuildings to the rear which add context to the site.
