Farmhouse, now barn and cowhouse. Probably C17. Rubble, corrugated iron roofs. L-plan, 2-storey, 3-bay, 2-window part roughly oriented north - south and one storey with attic; 3-bay range runs east west respectively with lean- to extensions to west and north. Two-storey part: gable to south, central entrance, window openings above west side masked by late C20 corrugated iron lean-to under which are almost complete oak mullioned windows to north and south bays. One-storey range: 2 entrances next to each other near junction with 2 storey part. East gable end has dripstone to central ground floor window and gable window above, the former having holes for 4 diamond section mullions. Interior: north bay of 2 storey part is occupied by fireplace, stop-chamfered mantel-lintol above, adjacent newel stair, lit by splayed window, with oak treads to west. This former principal room is now occupied by 4 loose boxes with racks and trough. Trusses have raking struts to rafters from tie-beams. A second fireplace above the main one is visible in present roof space. On north side of east bay of one storey range is an oak mullioned window giving view into one bay rubble lean-to extension. A rubble cross-wall with a low door separates the easternmost bay from the others. Trusses are simple A-frame, 3 purlins with heavy ties and collars, that in the east gable is rubble-filled. An important survivor with many interesting features embodied in typical local L-plan-longhouse derivative.
