2 storey main building with pitched slated roof flanked by single storey rendered stone buildings with multiple gables. Modern flat-roof extensions have been added to North and South.
Originally constructed as a bakery - adjacent to the main kitchen complex - within the Bangour Village Hospital. Latterly converted for use as a centre for occupational health therapy.
Bangour Village Hospital is noted as the best surviving example in Scotland of a psychiatric hospital created in the village system of patient care. Accepting its first patients in 1904, the site continued in use as a hospital until 2004 and was twice converted to serve as a military hospital 1915-1922 and 1939-45.
