This late-19th-century farmstead of one and one-and-a-half storeys comprises two blocks of L-shaped plan which create a central courtyard. The farmhouse occupies the S portion of the S block. There are byres, a small barn or root house, a granary and sheds. Detached buildings include a 1950s cattle court built of concrete with a wooden slatted floor and a corrugated-iron roof, which lies to the N, and a Dutch barn to the E. The farmstead is constructed of roughly squared granite rubble and has slate roofs. When visited in 2000 it was in a poor condition.
