Description
The farmhouse, dated 1680 internally, is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble with large quoins. It has a stone slate roof with a brick chimney on the ridge and another chimney at the corner of the outshut, which is now blocked with a stone ball. The original two-bay baffle-entry plan includes an outshut to the rear of the second bay, and an attached barn under the same roof at the left end.
The farmhouse is two storeys and has an attic. A gabled porch in the centre features a round-headed arch with voussoirs that extend down as jamb stones, and a small two-light stone mullioned window above the arch. To the left of the porch is one stone mullioned window on each floor (five and four lights respectively). To the right, there is a three-light stone mullioned window with a straight dripstone, a two-light cross-glazed casement above, and a single light window above the porch. The right return wall has stone mullioned windows with hoodmoulds: five and three lights at ground floor, four and two lights at the first floor, and three lights to the attic. The rear elevation includes a two-light sliding sash window above lean-to additions at ground floor.
The attached barn, at the left end, is partitioned from the house by a timber-framed wall with wattle-and-daub infill. It has a wagon doorway in the rear (east) wall, and a blocked doorway in the front wall, now replaced by a simple doorway.
Inside, the housepart of the second bay contains an inglenook fireplace with stone hecks, and a carved salt cupboard lettered in relief. The parlour in the first bay has a fireplace carved with the letters "T : : I," dated 1680, and features stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. Both rooms also have stop-moulded beams.
The building represents an unusually complete survival of a late 17th-century farmhouse.
