Westerton of Stracathro Farmhouse is an attractive and substantial stone-built 19th century house with a slate roof. As the name suggests, it was until very recently a farmhouse on the local estate. Facing south, over its own gardens, it has spacious and well-proportioned accommodation. While it could benefit from some upgrading, it still retains much period character, with features such as cornices in the reception rooms and main bedrooms still intact. The living room, bedroom 1 and shower room all have double glazing.

Gates open onto a drive that leads up to gravelled parking at the front of the house. Both the entrance vestibule and hallway have a mosaic tiled floor, with the latter having a staircase to the first floor and an understair cupboard. There are two imposing front reception rooms. One with a tiled fireplace while the other has a bay window, fireplace with wooden mantel and a cupboard with display shelves above. Behind is a shelved larder with window shutters. The living room has a glazed door to the garden, tiled fireplace, and two presses. The kitchen has fitted units with a NEFF double oven and Ceran hob, two-oven Esse range, sink and a shelved cupboard. Off a back lobby is a downstairs WC with washbasin and cupboards, a utility room with a double sink and which leads to a larder with shelves and stone flag floor.

Upstairs is a sizeable landing with two walk in cupboards. Bedrooms one, two and four have fireplaces. The boxroom could be used as an additional bedroom, while bedroom three has a bay window and fitted cupboards. Bedroom five has a mantel with shelves and the shower room has a washbasin with vanity unit and WC.

The enclosed garden in front and to the sides is mainly down to grass with rhododendrons and trees providing privacy and shelter. There is a wooden summerhouse (3.65m x 3m) and views north to the hills. At the back of the house is a range of outbuildings with a fuel store, store and kennel with run.
