Farmhouse, dated 1667, altered, now house, with later barn attached at right end. Coursed sandstone rubble, slate roof with 2 brick chimneys close to left gable. Square plan. Two storeys and attic; plinth and quoins; door offset to right has rectangular lintel dated 1667, a small rectangular window to right, a modern casement to left and 2 above; to the left of these on each floor is a small round-headed window with hollow spandrels and parts of hoodmould, both blocked (and possibly ex situ); above the door is random rubble and one jamb suggesting a former opening, with part of a hoodmould. Left gable has at ground and at 1st floor a 3-light stone mullion window, the lower lacking one mullion, the upper lacking both mullions and now blocked; a square attic window above; irregular inserted masonry at rear corner of 1st floor may indicate former door. Rear wall has 2 square windows on each floor and modern porch. Large barn under same roof, probably C18, of rubble with quoins and central segmental-arched wagon doorway with dressed stone voussoirs. Interior of house altered. Original function not known but probably associated with Crosse Hall (demolished).
