Description
Rough Top is an early 19th-century laithe house constructed of watershot masonry with a stone slate roof. It stands two storeys high and features a two-cell layout. The north front displays quoins and a mistal doorway with tie-stones, along with a blocked semi-circular arched cart entry that has a Venetian window above it leading to the barn. The house has two bays of five-light flat faced mullioned stepped windows on each floor, with quoins and a coped gable. There is a single-storey gabled outshut that projects forward and is partly buried in the ground, likely for a cellar. The rear of the house has a doorway taken from the first stepped window, while the second cell features a stepped window, and the first floor is blind. The building has one stack at the ridge between the two cells.
