This is the best preserved of the three concrete farmsteads visited by the Scottish Farm Buildings Survey in Sutherland (see NC83NE 7, Auchintoul Forest Steading; NC83SW 26, Harvieston Steading, for other examples). The farmhouse, which is built of concrete with a slate roof, is linked to the byre and stable by a covered yard. The yard and other buildings are of concrete under a curved corrugated-iron roof. There is a freestanding two-bay concrete cart shed which stands behind the buildings. The farmstead was generally in good repair and was in use as a gamekeeper's store on the date of survey.
