Farmhouse, latterly three cottages. Mid to late C17 with C19 and C20 alterations and additions. Timber-framed with red brick nogging, partly rebuilt in red brick and extended in uncoursed grey/yellow sandstone rubble; corrugated asbestos roof. Four framed bays aligned approximately north-east/south-west, with addition to south-west. Framing: square panels, three from sole plate to wall plate. One storey and attic. North-west front: four early C20 flat-topped dormers with 2-light metal casements; large integral T-plan brick end stack to left with oversailing cap and brick ridge stack off-centre to right (formerly integral end stack before addition). Five-window front; small C19 and C20 wooden and metal casements; segmental-headed boarded door to right; C19 addition to right with flat-topped dormer and sheeted- over ground-floor window. Exposed collar and tie-beam truss in left- hand gable end with queen struts and v-struts. Large dressed yellow/grey sandstone blocks at base of stack. Four dormers and boarded door at rear. INTERIOR: collar and tie-beam trusses with queen struts; staggered purlins; timber-framed cross-walls; chamfered beams with ogee stops; large open fireplace; two staircases. Interior of C19 addition not inspected. The C19 cottage was probably added when the C17 farmhouse was divided.
