Description
The property is a 17th-century farmhouse with an L-shaped plan. It is timber framed and plastered, with the front of the main wing having a pebbledash render applied in square and rectangular panels, designed to resemble half-timbering. The main wing has plaintiles, while the east wing has pantiles. The farmhouse is two storeys high with an attic. It has a five-window front featuring 3-light casement windows, alongside two painted dummy windows. A 19th-century doorway has a half-glazed door with two boarded panels above a pedimented cornice. Two 19th-century flat-roofed dormers are present. There is one internal and one external stack. At the rear, two diamond-pane leaded windows are located, one in each wing.
