Description

This is a three-bay, three-storey farmhouse, dated "JHA 1753" on the lintel, with a probable later addition of an attic storey. The building is constructed of stone with a stone slate roof. The windows have plain lintels and 20th-century casements. The central entrance features a flat architrave and a 20th-century door. 19th-century brick gable-end stacks are present. At the front of the house is a low wall with gateposts topped with ball finials. Later, low outbuildings adjoin the left return of the farmhouse. The interior includes a staircase with turned balusters.
