Gable end stack to left and axial stack to right with rendered shafts. Plan: 3-room and through passage plan; the lower end room to right is a shippon. The room to left is heated from a gable end stack and a central room is heated from an axial stack backing on to the passage. The passage has a C20 porch added in front of the entrance. At the right end there is a shippon, probably rebuilt circa C19. There is an unheated outshut to rear left, and a lean-to at the lower right-hand end. Exterior: 2 storeys, an asymmetrical 3-window front. At ground floor to left there are two C19 6-pane sashes, one with truncated hood mould and one with complete hood mould. At first floor to left there are two C19 4-pane sashes. To right there is a C20 porch with small C20 window above. There is a plank door to the shippon to right. The blind left end has external stack. The right end has single storey lean- to. At the rear there is an outshut of single storey to right with C20 window at the side; this is built into the bank at the rear. There is a C19 plank door at the rear of the passage and at first floor to left a C19 2-pane window with slate cill. Small single storey lean-to to left. Interior: Not inspected, but may retain some features of the C17; this is an unusual survival in that the farmhouse retains the shippon at the lower end.
