Description

It features timber framing with red brick nogging, a granite rubble stone plinth, and red brick. The roof is made of Welsh slate with a brick ridge and stacks at the right end.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and has two ranges, with the cottage on the left. The main house has two 3-light centre-opening casements above a 3-light casement, a central plank door, and a 3-light horizontal sliding sash. The timber framing consists of two bays with braces and six by two panels, most of which are intact. There are also two additional timbers between the upper horizontal and the eaves. To the right end, there is a one-storey extension.
