This is a mid to late 19th century cottage and outbuildings located at Langskaill Farm in Westray, along with an early 20th century threshing barn and byres. The cottage and two outbuildings are arranged in a row along the roadside, while L-plan farm buildings are situated at the rear, including a threshing barn from around 1910 and flanking byres.

The cottage has three bays, with a central door and flanking windows on the south elevation. There is a single window on the west gable, two windows at the rear, and a plain elevation on the east side. The windows are 4-pane timber sash and case, though the door has been replaced. The roof is pitched and covered with stone slates, featuring crowstepped gables, corniced gable end stacks, and circular cans, along with rooflights.
