Description
This building is a farmhouse located on Wellow Newark Road, dating from the late 18th century. It is constructed of brick and features a steeply pitched 20th-century pantile roof. The eaves are dentillated, and there are two gable stacks and a single ridge stack. The house is two storeys high with garrets and has an L-plan layout with three bays.
The windows are primarily 20th-century cross casements with rubbed brick heads. The north front has central ashlar steps leading to a two-panel door with plain jambs, a reeded lintel, an overlight, and curved brackets supporting a panelled hood. To the left of the door is a cellar light and a single casement window. Above the door, there are three casements, with the central one being smaller.
On the west gable, there is a casement window to the right, and above it, a 20th-century casement window in the garret. The rear elevation features a 20th-century casement window above. There is also an adjoining single-storey rear outbuilding with three bays and a catslide roof to the west. To the east of the outbuilding, there is a Yorkshire sash window flanked by single close boarded doors, and to the right, a large metal casement window.
