Early 19th century, 2-storey and attic, 3-bay symmetrical L-plan house (now hotel). Harled W (principal) elevation, harl-pointed rubble side and rear elevations with ashlar margined openings and projecting cills. Later flat-roofed projecting entrance porch centred at ground with fixed-light in W wall, and entrance door in N wall. Windows flanking at ground, regular fenestration at 1st floor. Irregularly fenestrated side elevations, 2-storey wing advanced at left of rear elevation with stair window in re-entrant angle, modern single storey addition extending to S and E.
Modern glazing throughout, modern slate roof, stugged sandstone and cement-rendered stacks with octagonal cans.
BOUNDARY WALLS AND GATEPIERS: formal arrangement comprising square stugged sandstone gatepiers with pyramidal caps flanking principal elevation, flagstone rubble walls enclosing gardens extending to E and W. Vertically-boarded timber door offset to right in W wall of W garden, extending on to right (S) to adjoin E wall of storehouse (see separate listing).
Similar in form to Mizpah House, Maryfield is a prominent landmark on Bressay when viewed from Lerwick. With the storehouse, it forms a notable group at the point where the ferry now approaches the shore. This composition and the view of Maryfield has been compromised somewhat by the building of a modern house between the two elements.
