First house was built in 1820 and then substantially rebuilt to the Scottish Baronial style in1858 (Thomas Gildard) with a tower added at the rear in 1881. The building is painted stugged ashlar.
The house is now in use as Seafield Residential School (1997).

By the date of the 2nd edition (ibid), the house has been extended with the walled garden now having glasshouses on the N wall. The stables are also shown to the W.
The Object Name Book of the Ordnance Survey describes the house as 'A superior dwelling house with gardens and plantations adjoining, the property of John Bartlemore Esq.'.
