Former house, now used as a farm building, C17th, altered. Sandstone rubble with stone slate roof. Appears to be a surviving cross wing of a substantial C17th house. 2 storeys. The west gable wall, facing the farmyard, has a chamfered door surround to the right and a door with plain reveals to the left. Above on the 1st floor is a partly blocked double-chamfered window surround. Above that is a pitching hole with plain reveals. The north wall has some double-chamfered window surrounds remaining. At the left-hand end there is one on each floor, the ground-floor one being mutilated. Towards the centre there is one on each floor, the ground floor one being blocked. Towards the right there is one on the ground floor, now with a flat lintel. The east gable wall has a similar surround on each floor, each with the remains of a hood. The south wall is now covered by a later lean-to, but has a large blocked fireplace with chamfered jambs and 4-centre head. The roof structure was not accessible at the time of survey. A doorway said to have come fron this building, dated 1662, is now re-erected in the grounds of Dutton Manor (q.v.).
