Description
This is a farmhouse dating from the mid-18th century. It is constructed of brick with a pantile half-hipped roof. The building has a single brick coped gable with a stack to the south and a single ridge stack. It is five bays wide and two storeys high. The main entrance is offset to one side, featuring a semi-circular fanlight and a 20th-century glazed door. A small single casement window is on the north side. To the south is a three-light casement, followed by a blocked door now fitted with a small casement, and then a glazing bar sash window. The upper floor has four glazing bar sash windows, all set beneath segmental brick arches. A lean-to addition extends from the south side of the building.
