Southeast (entrance) elevation: recessed entrance porch with corner column to right. Seven-pane window in porch recess. Narrow four-pane rectangular window in centre of elevation and 16-pane window to left. Two attic dormers with thatched hoods.
Northeast elevation: door and single window to right. Single window in attic with projecting curved architrave.
Northwest (rear) elevation: wing extends at right; asymmetrical blind gable. Very steep skew with chimneystack at left and shorter one to right.
This is a very quirky design: the white modernity of the main building contrasts sharply with the vernacular roof.
It is among a relatively small number of buildings with a surviving thatched roof found across Scotland. A Survey of Thatched Buildings in Scotland, published in 2016 by the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB), found there were only around 200 buildings with thatched roofs remaining.
