Description

This is a farmhouse, likely dating from the mid-17th century. It is constructed of stone with a slate roof, featuring a single ridge chimney stack. The original design incorporated a baffle-entry plan, with three bays. The exterior has a plinth and a band running around three sides. A modern glazed porch sits at the meeting point of the first and second bays, with a single-light window positioned above it. The remaining windows are stone mullion windows, with three lights on each floor, except for the ground floor of the third bay, which has five lights. A single three-light window is present on the left-hand end wall at ground floor level. The rear wall has four first-floor windows, and one ground-floor window in the third bay; some of these have been altered. A former shippon, a farm building, is attached to the right end of the house and has a stone slate roof with a lower pitch.

Inside, the ground floor of all three bays features quarter-round moulded and stopped beams. The second bay contains an inglenook fireplace with a similarly moulded bressummer beam. The first floor has stop-chamfered beams. Internal partitions are timber-framed. A dogleg staircase, characteristic of the 17th century, rises from the ground floor to the attic; it has turned balusters, panelled newels, and a moulded string.
