Formerly timber-framed but now mostly clad in coursed sandstone rubble, with stone slate roof and brick chimneys. Two-unit baffle-entry plan plus added unit at right-hand end and added continuous rear outshut under catslide roof. Two low storeys and 3 windows. The ground floor has a doorway in line with the chimney stack at the junction of the 2nd and 3rd bays, a vertical joint to the right of this (and at this level only), two 3-light sliding sash windows to the left and a 2-light small-paned sliding sash to the right, all these with large rectangular lintels under simple hoodmoulds; and the 1st floor has three 3-light casement windows immediately under the eaves. Axial chimney behind the ridge, gable chimney to left. The left gable wall has exposed timber-framing consisting of a sill, jowelled corner posts, 2 intermediate posts of light scantling, one rail, angle-braces to a slightly cambered tie-beam (which is slightly jettied), and a kingpost roof truss with 5 pairs of raked struts. The single-storey rear outshut has (inter alia) one 3-light sliding sash window. INTERIOR: inglenook with chamfered bressummer; quarter-round moulded lateral beam with vacant mortices for braces to wall-posts (now concealed); other wall-posts now concealed.
