Snelsetter, South Walls, Hoy

Snelsetter is an early 19th century, possibly incorporating earlier work, two-storey rectangular-plan former barn with a tall square kiln attached to the north and a later porch addition to the east. It was converted into a dwelling in 1995 and features exposed rubble flagstone.

On the east elevation, there is a small square window in the far left bay, a porch to the right with a small square window in the gable and a door in the right return. To the right of the porch is another small square window, with a first-floor window above it. There is a door to the right and a small square window in the far right bay. The first floor has five slit openings, and the kiln is located to the far right, with a ground floor door to the left and a central small square first-floor window.

The south elevation has a ground floor window to the right and two small square first-floor windows.

The west elevation features three windows to the right, a door to the left, and a window in the far left. It has five bays and six slit openings at the first floor, along with a small central window on both the ground and first floors of the kiln.

The north elevation has a first-floor window, while the ground floor is obscured by a later farm range to the north.

The building retains and glazes its ventilation slits, has replacement windows, and timber plank and glazed doors. There are five rooflights on the east side and seven on the west. The barn has a pitched stone Caithness slate roof, with a crowstepped gable and coped gable end stack to the south. The pitched roof of the kiln is raised above the barn and features crowstepped gables, also covered with Caithness slate.

The interior was not seen in 2000.
