Pitched slate roofs, clay ridge tiles, diagonally set limestone chimney flues with corbelled caps set on oblong bases, ashlar limestone verges on corbelled kneelers with finials at apex. Coursed rubble limestone walling, flush ashlar quoins. Square-headed window openings, chamfered reveals and soffits, hood mouldings to main block, flush stone sills, painted timber four-over-six sash windows with horizontally disposed panes, unusual Egyptian style doorcase.

This fine Scottish baronial style house exhibits good quality stonework with nice touches such as the diagonally-set chimney cans, hood mouldings and slender gable finials. Original sash windows, unusual for their horizontal emphasis, survive throughout.
