Balfour - This mansion has been developed from a late 16th century house with an extension a century later. The latter lies to the south, the old house being the east end of the mansion. It is L-shaped on plan, the main block facing south and the wing projecting north in line with the old west gable.

The building is now a roofless ruin, rising in places to a height of approximately 10.0m. The late 16th century original structure is clearly visible, as delineated; it is of random rubble masonry.
