Description
This is an early 19th-century red brick farmhouse. It has a pantile roof with gabled ends and two storeys, originally arranged with three bays. The windows are renewed sashes with glazing bars, set within flat brick arches. The central doorway has a round arch above a semi-circular fanlight, and a panelled door. A wing at the rear is constructed of flint with red brick dressings and a slate roof, dating to the 17th and 18th centuries, but largely rebuilt in the 19th century.
