Description

This is a farmhouse, now a house, dating back to the 17th century, with additions from the late 17th to early 18th century, and alterations in the 19th century, along with some later changes. It is constructed of painted stone rubble and cob, with a bitumenised slate roof featuring ridge tiles and gable ends. A large gable end stack with a rubble shaft stands on the right, and another stack with a shaped top is at the left gable end. The front wing has a half-hipped roof. The roof was likely originally thatched, with a raised coped verge to the left gable end.

The original plan comprised two rooms, with the entrance leading to a passage; a larger room is to the left and a smaller room to the right, each heated by a gable end stack. A single-room wing, unheated, was added in the late 17th to early 18th century to the front right. Around the 18th century, a parallel range was added to the rear right, also with two rooms, the room to the right heated by a gable end stack. A single-storey outshut was added to the front right, situated in the angle between the main range and the rear range.

The front of the house has two storeys and is symmetrical, with two windows to the left and the two-storey wing to the right. The two left-hand bays feature early 18th-century 12-pane sashes with thick glazing bars in exposed boxes at both ground and first floor levels. The front of the right-hand wing has an early 19th-century 16-pane sash in an exposed box at ground floor and an 18th-century 12-pane sash at first floor. A 20th-century door is located on the left side. To the right, the rear range has a 19th-century 16-pane sash at first floor; a single-storey outshut features a 6-pane sash. The left gable end is blank, with a small 20th-century window to the attic. A straight joint marks the boundary of a single-storey and loft outshut with a 2-light 6-pane casement at ground floor and a 2-light 8-pane casement at first floor.

The rear of the building has a catslide roof over the outshut, which includes a 2-light 6-pane casement and a 20th-century window. A single ventilation window is set on the corner of the outshut. The rear of the rear range features a single casement at first floor, a ground floor 2-light 8-pane casement with L hinges, and a 20th-century lean-to porch. The rear outshut is single-storey, with a 20th-century door to the side, two 20th-century windows, and a brick stack to the rear.

The interior is not fully accessible. A dog-leg stair is located in the outshut behind the front room to the right. The front entrance leads to a small lobby, with a plank door opening into the front room. The room to the right has a slate floor and is ceiled.
