This single-storey building with an attic features a three-bay layout and is situated on the shore of White Loch. It is constructed of whinstone with granite dressings and quoins, and has timber bracketed eaves.
On the south elevation, which serves as the entrance, there is an advanced gabled keystoned semicircular entrance arch with single timber doors leading to recessed bays. The north elevation, or rear, has a central tripartite shouldered-arched window flanked by blank bays.
The east side elevation includes a timber door on the right and a tripartite shouldered-arched window on the left, along with a central bipartite dormer window in the attic.
