Seggie House is an imposing Victorian mansion dating from 1870. The property is built of stone under a slate roof and is laid out in a two-storey U-shape with a central courtyard enclosed by a single storey section.
The present owners have carried out a major refurbishment programme and installed new bathrooms and new central heating. The rooms are all large and well-proportioned and retain many original features such as decorative cornices, windo shutters, wooden floors and period fireplaces.

To the west of this is a paddock enclosed by a hedge and surrounded by mature trees.
A stable yard also stands in the grounds, with two loose boxes, wooden dog kennels and a four-car garage. At the end of the drive next to the gates is a gate lodge built of stone under a slate roof with a detached brick built garage.
