Description
The building is a late 18th-century farmhouse, accompanied by an adjoining malt house. It is constructed of red brick with a dressed grey sandstone plinth. The roof is covered in plain tiles. The farmhouse is two storeys high with a gable-lit attic. Features include a chamfered plinth, plat bands above the ground and first-floor windows, and parapeted gable ends with chamfered sandstone copings and shaped stone kneelers. Integral brick end stacks are present. The windows are segmental-headed glazing bar sashes with painted stone sills. The central entrance has a six-panel door (with the top two panels glazed), a moulded architrave, and a gabled lattice wooden porch. A chamfered rectangular date stone is located above the central first-floor window, though the inscription is illegible. The front elevation may have been refenestrated at some time, indicated by the lines of closers visible on either side of the windows. Two-light wooden attic windows are found within the gable ends. A two-storey rear kitchen wing, built of red sandstone with a slate roof and brick ridge stack, is attached. The malt house, a timber-framed structure, abuts the rear wing at a right angle.
