Description

House. Built in the mid-18th century. The house is constructed of hammer-dressed watershot stone with a roof of graduated stone slates. It has a two-unit, two-storey plan, with a gable-ended entrance and a 20th-century extension to the west. The corners have quoins. There are two, four and three-light windows on the ground floor, and two three-light windows on the first floor. All windows have double-chamfered cavetto-moulded mullions. A door was inserted between the two and four-light ground floor windows. The original gable entrance has a dressed, chamfered surround. Chimney stacks rise from the ridge. Ground-floor and rear windows include two and three-light openings.
