Description
Seafield is an early 19th century house located in Walls Village, featuring a porch added in the early 20th century and some later alterations. This single storey and attic, three-bay house has a lean-to addition at the rear, creating a T-plan layout. The exterior is finished with harled walls and cement margins, and the windows have projecting cills.
On the northeast (principal) elevation, there is a vertically-boarded timber door with glazed upper panels, flanked by two-pane sidelights, all set within a gabled timber porch that is characteristic of the Shetland style. The flanking bays have regular window arrangements, and there are catslide-roofed dormers that break the eaves in the outer bays at the first floor.
The northwest gable features a single window on the left side at the attic level. The southwest (rear) elevation includes a modernised lean-to addition that projects at the centre, featuring a door and a narrow window on its northwest side.
The roof is covered with grey slate, and the building has harled skew-copes and stone-coped gablehead stacks with circular cans.
