Fort William has a three-bay two-storey over basement form commonly found in this area but has the variation of a bow to the garden front and incorporates a fine cut stone doorcase to the front façade which is almost identical to that found at Hilton House, just to the north-east. The outbuildings are of particular interest being of good quality construction and retaining their original features and character. The small gate lodge is also noteworthy, an early example of a modest gate lodge which is almost vernacular in style.
