Patrickholm is a T-shaped, two-storeyed dwelling house of simple 17th century style. It is not occupied and falling into a state of disrepair. Some windows bear the original mouldings, but most have modern lintels and jambs inserted. Roof and chimneys are also modern.
There is a square armorial panel of the Hamiltons, without inscription, over the entrance in the north wall, and also a triangular panel in the east wall of the farm outbuildings which are themselves modern.
Surveyed at: 1/2500.
