NO 3854 1396 Building appraisal was undertaken in November 2006 to inform proposals for redevelopment of this partly derelict steading complex. The U-shaped complex has a 'presentation front' oriented to be viewed from the now-demolished Tarvit House and gardens. The principal frontage contains a pedimented entrance surmounted by a spire, with flanking two-storied ranges and end pavilions. Less substantial ranges, both originally single-storied, run upslope behind the frontage range. One of these retains evidence for an early stables interior of some pretension. A sequence of secondary modifications and extensions were also recorded.
