A complex of 4 two-storey red sandstone buildings which form an 'E' with the longest side orientated N (a fifth building was demolished in 1973). The longest building is a 22 bay ropewalk. This structure is bordered to the N by an 8 bay building with an external stairwell oversailing a wide entrance-way underneath ( now The Byre Restaurant ). The central structure is 5 bays long with a wide entrance in the western gable end. The southern building is 12 bays long with an external staircase in the eastern end and incorporates a 3 bay dwelling house in the central section.
