Although altered, this small cottage is of some age and contributes to the vernacular character of the clachan at Hessilhead, sitting at right angles to the road. Originally thatched, the dwelling has a low wallhead and smallish windows. The round-arched architrave with fanlight is the only sophisticated feature of the cottage and unfortunately the original door does not survive. The cream coloured wash and the red painted margins are locally traditional. Hessilhead consists of a small number of cottages, and the remains of a former saw mill, grouped irregularly around the Dusk Water at a bend in the road. 'Hessilhead' or 'Hazelhead' Castle once stood to the north east and is marked on Andrew Armstrong's map of 1775.
