Description
A farmhouse, dating back to the 16th century or earlier, with a facade dating to the late 18th or early 19th century. The house is timber-framed, with a chequered pattern of red and grey brick on the front elevation and right gable end. The left gable end is brick on the ground floor and tile-hung above. The rear is weatherboarded on the first floor to the left. The roof is slate, with flat eaves soffits, and a hipped roof. A rebuilt 20th-century brick stack is positioned at the left gable end, while a 16th-century stack remains on the right gable end. This original stack has a ragstone base and a truncated brick flue, constructed in English bond, with an ovolo-moulded base.
The front has a regular arrangement of three windows, each with paired twelve-pane sashes and thin glazing bars, set within rubbed brick voussoirs. A central half-glazed door, with a panelled base, thin glazing bars, and flanking paned side-lights, leads up two steps with moulded risers.
A two-storey red and grey brick rear wing or stair turret extends centrally, featuring a half-hipped plain tile roof, a ridge stack near its junction with the main range, weatherboarding on the left side, and a weatherboarded lean-to to the right. A single-storey brick rear addition sits to the left, with a half-hipped plain tile roof, and a further lean-to is attached to the right of the main range at the rear. The interior was not inspected.
