Description
Farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with later additions and alterations in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The construction combines close studded and box timber framing, rubble sandstone, and red brick, with stone and brick dressings. The roof is tiled, featuring moulded stone coped gables, kneelers, a western brick gable stack, and a stone ridge stack to the east. The building is arranged in an L-shape, with two bays to each wing, and includes a small 20th-century addition to the northeast.
The east range has a stone south gable wall with quoins, while the east and west walls are red brick on stone plinths. The north wall of this range reveals the original single-story-plus-attic design, as evidenced by the visible remains of a roof truss. The ground floor of the east range has two adjoining casement windows. The upper floor has one similar window. The south gable wall contains a small 2-light chamfered mullion window with a dripmould, a 4-light recessed and chamfered mullion window also with a dripmould, and a 3-light chamfered mullion window with a dripmould at the gable peak. The east wall features two 3-light chamfered mullion windows with dripmoulds on the ground floor and a similar 2-light window without a dripmould to the north. Above, a similar blocked window and an inserted 19th-century casement are present. The west wall has a large 4-light 19th-century glazing bar casement window under a segmental brick head and a 3-light chamfered mullion window. Above are two similar mullioned windows without drips, with a small casement window at the junction with the north range. The upper floor windows on the west range are likely 19th-century replacements.
The north range has a brick south front with a large 19th-century 4-light glazing bar casement window under a segmental brick head and a similar 3-light window to the east. A 20th-century door is located under a segmental brick head. Above are matching casement windows, and to the west, a 19th-century 3-light sliding sash. The north elevation of the north range is brick on the west bay, but the east bay is close studded timber framing with various small casement windows. The interior contains two panelled rooms, and upstairs there is an overmantle dated 1695.
