Description

Farmhouse and outbuildings, dating from the late 17th century, with later 18th and early 19th century additions and 20th-century alterations. The building is constructed of coursed rubble, partly rendered, and red brick with ashlar dressings. The roof is a combination of stone slate (hipped), Welsh slate, and 20th-century corrugated iron. The original farmhouse was an L-shaped brick building, with a barn, and a new farmhouse was added in the early 19th century to the south. A late 18th-century outbuilding range is attached to the north.

The farmhouse, now rendered, has a two-story west front with three bays. It features an off-centre doorway with a 20th-century glazed door and overlight, flanked by single glazing bar sashes. To the right is a small sash window, and to the left, a partially blocked doorway containing a 20th-century casement window, with another 20th-century casement beyond. Above are four windows. Around the corner, a double glazing bar sash window is located with a loft doorway above having a partly glazed door. The north side has a two-story, coursed rubble range containing the remnants of various flush stone mullion windows, largely altered by later openings. The east gable wall of the original north range has a glazing bar sash window with a blocked loft doorway above, set within a flush ashlar surround. The south front has an off-centre doorway with a flush ashlar surround, two sashes to the right, and a large partially blocked doorway to the left. Above are a glazing bar sash window, a three-light casement, and two sashes.

The interior of the original farmhouse and barn range contains chamfered spine beams with run-out stops and a complete late 17th-century roof with three king post trusses in the west range, and four in the north range. All of these trusses feature king posts with carved tops, braces, and staggered purlins.
