Farmhouse. Circa early C19. Shale rubble with granite quoins, sills jambstones and lintels. Hipped scantle slate roof with circa C17 or C18 reused hand-made crested clay ridge tiles, brick chimneys over side walls, scantle slated lean-to on right and brick chimney over gable end of scantle-slated single storey former shippon set back on far right. Shallow double depth plan, 3 rooms wide including single storey integral dairy on right. Large hearth in kitchen left, parlour right of middle with cross passage between kitchen and parlour leading to stair. Shallow service room behind kitchen and the shallow rooms behind the parlour and dairy are now a wide axial passage linked to circa early-mid C19 shippon attached at rear right later converted to back kitchen with large fireplace. Two storeys. Nearly symmetrical 2 window east front but wider at left end because of large kitchen stack and with extra bay for dairy, right. The doorway is central to the fenestration of the 2-storey house part, 4 panel door, circa early C20 porch/conservatory. The windows both to house and dairy are original 16-pane hornless sashes. Interior is little altered since the C19. Stick baluster stair, some 2 panel doors, some slate flag floors and a ventilated screen at the back of the dairy with lattice ventilated door. An unusual variation of a C19 farmhouse plan with internal dairy and adjoining shippon, all surviving hardly altered since built.
