Description

A farmhouse, dating back to the 14th century, with a 17th-century cross-wing added to its southwest end and a smaller, later 17th-century cross-wing to the northeast. Further alterations and additions occurred in the 20th century. The structure is built from sandstone rubble with a stone slate roof. The original four-bay hall range runs northeast/southwest, and the southwest cross-wing now forms the main house. Gable-end stacks and a southeast gable-end entrance are visible, along with a further entrance on the southeast side where the hall range meets the cross-wing. A small cross-wing is located at the northwest end of the hall, with gable-end entrances. The hall range has been converted into a barn, with a loft inserted at each end, and serves as a stable on the second level.

The southwest front of the 17th-century house features a gabled dormer with a 2-light casement window to the left of centre. Below are a 3-light and a 4-light casement window, both retaining square-headed labels on the first floor, and a smaller 2-light window on the ground floor. A 20th-century porch obscures the entrance to the southeast gable end, featuring a wooden-framed door. A stack to the northwest gable end is supported by three corbels from the first floor, leaving the ground floor room unheated. The remains of a garderobe shaft are visible to the left of the stack. The northwest front of the hall range has a 2-light casement window to the left, next to the former threshing floor entrance, which features a 20th-century door and window. A further doorway is located to the left. The northeast side of the stable cross-wing displays two 4-light wooden-framed diamond mullioned windows with four triangular vents on the upper floor.

Inside the hall range, four cruck trusses remain, each with a braced collar. Some plain wind-braces are also present, and significant smoke blackening is visible. The 17th-century cross-wing retains a plank-and-muntin panelled partition on the ground floor, as well as on the first floor. Stone winder staircases are located in the southeastern angle of the cross-wing and the northwest gable end. Good chamfered ceiling beams are found throughout, along with collar and tie-beam trusses with chamfered members. Stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops are also present.
