The wooden door closes with a fighter window . Colored bottles frame the twelve-part lattice windows and set them apart in color from the facades plastered with Harl . From the south side there is a small extension from the 20th century. A cornice runs beneath the hipped roof . The main building ends with a slate-covered gable roof . Two gable dormers protrude on both sides , which were added in the course of the 19th century.
On both sides there are single-storey pavilions , which are connected to the main building via a short corridor. In their design they correspond to the main building. They are three axes wide and close with gable roofs. A wide gate is let into the back of the eastern pavilion.

The manor, located around 300 m southwest of Tonderghie House, dates back to the early 19th century, but dates back to a previous farm from the 18th century. The elongated buildings completely enclose a square inner courtyard, which is accessible through a doorway on the east side. The masonry consists of rubble stone with offset natural stone surrounds made of red polished sandstone . Stables, barns and wagon sheds are housed in the purpose-built buildings. Above the gateway on the east side, which is seven axes wide, rises a pigeon tower with a square floor plan and a pyramid roof . Noteworthy of the northern offshore horses GOEPEL , with a slate-roofed conical roof closes. The machinery for driving a threshing device has largely been preserved.
The manor is no longer used. In 2014 the structure was added to the register of endangered buildings in Scotland. The roofs of the south and west flanks have collapsed and vegetation is observed inside the building. The structure of the other parts of the building is also deteriorating noticeably, so that the overall condition of the complex was classified as very poor and at the same time high risk during an inspection in 2015.
