The masonry of the two-story building is made of quarry stone with details of red natural stone . The facades are whitewashed. The south-facing front is five axes wide. The central entrance area is designed with a curved arch and crowning cornices on corbels . The coat of arms of the Dukes of Queensberry is depicted in the tympanum . The component ends with a triangular gable . Base and cornice as well as rusticated corner stones decorate the facades. The final, steep hipped roof is covered with slate. Paired chimneys tower at the ridge. The single-storey wing that extends to the rear is more recent.
