Detached four-bay single-storey house (with dormer storey), built c.1875, with projecting gable-fronted single-bay single-storey porch to front façade (southeast) having decorative timber barge boards and cast-iron ridge cresting. Modern conservatory to southwest gable end. Now in use as a restaurant.

This is an attractive building of a consistent architectural quality in a High Victorian decorative style, which is unusual for this village. The front elevation is enlivened by the decorative timber barge boards and the projecting porch, while its character is enhanced by its appealing setting and mature garden. This building makes a positive contribution to the streetscape of Glassan and is prominent feature on the main approach road into the village from the north.
