An early nineteenth century tri-partite villa, with hood-moulded ground floor windows and square upper windows, was added to in 1879 by the architect, James Barbour, who created a picturesque house of mainly two storeys with an off-centre pyramid-roofed entrance tower, projecting eaves and chimney stacks with cavetto moulding.
