Two-bay single-storey outbuilding to east having lean-to roof, rubble stone walls, and square-headed openings with fixed timber window and timber panelled door. Single-bay single-storey outbuilding to rear with pitched corrugated-iron roof, rubble stone walls and square-headed opening.

Small irregularly spaced windows, outbuildings forming a yard nearby showing evidence of the vernacular origins of this house. Although its windows have been replaced and it has been substantially extended, its thick walls and small windows show its age. Once part of a clachan, it is enhanced and contextualised by nearby outbuildings.
