Farmhouse. Probably later C17 in part, but dated 1742 in gable of porch; altered. Mostly sandstone rubble, but with brick addition and now all roughcast with cement quoining; composition tile roof. Formerly L-plan formed by a 2-unit main range with a projecting porch-cum-stair-turret to the 2nd bay, with an added rear wing to this bay and a C20 extension of it to the right. Two storeys, 1:1:1 windows. The wide 2-storey gabled porch has one window on each floor to the front, a shaped stone in the apex of the gable inscribed S R M 1742 and an altered doorway in the left side. To the left the 1st bay has one window on each floor, and the extension to the right has one window at 1st floor; and all these windows are C20 two-light casements with rendered surrounds. Gable chimney to left. Left gable wall and rear wing similar to the front. INTERIOR: the 1st bay has a lateral beam with quarter-round moulding and stops buried in the masonry of the wall (suggesting former timber-framed construction); and approx. one metre from the gable wall a C18 beam with run-out chamfer; at 1st floor the 1st bay has a longitudinal timber-framed and wattle-and-daub partition.
