[2][3] The house was designed in the Scottish medieval style, built in rubble masonry and dated back to the 16th century.

[2] The building was substantially extended to the northeast in the Scottish baronial style to a design by Robert Samson Ingram of Kilmarnock in rubble masonry in 1887.

In the second bay from the left there was a segmental headed doorway with a fanlight and hood mould flanked by brackets supporting a balustraded balcony with finials; on the first floor, there was a tripart mullioned and transomed window with a stepped gable above.

The other bays were fenestrated by mullioned and transomed windows in a similar style and, at the left-hand corner, there was a bartizan with a conical roof.

The works, which included a new entrance on the northeast side, a new roof for the tower and masonry repairs as well as internal re-wiring, were scheduled to be completed in February 2023.
