Description
Farmhouse. Likely dating from the 17th century, with alterations in the 18th and 20th centuries. The farmhouse is constructed of limestone rubble with renewed wooden lintels, and has a concrete roof covered with plain tiles. It features rubble and brick stacks. The building follows an L-shaped plan. The front of the house, with three windows, is irregular and contains a combined door and window, a three-light casement window to the left, and a two-light casement window to the right. Upper windows include a three-light, a two-light, and another two-light window. A small, single-storey wing projects from the extreme right side. The roof has a rubble-based diagonal stack to the right of centre, which returns to the left, leading to a very long rear wing. The rear wing is probably original and has a rebuilt stack, alongside a taller rubble stack. The interior has not been inspected.
