Description
A farmhouse, later adapted for residential use, dating from the 17th century, with alterations in the 19th century and later. The building is constructed of slatestone rubble, and has a scantle slate roof with a gable end on the left and a hipped end on the right, featuring ridge tiles. Chimneys are present: a gable-end stack to the left, and a front lateral stack to the right, both with rubble shafts and shaped tops.
The original layout was based on a two-room plan with an entrance to a central passage. The lower end room, on the left, is heated by the gable-end stack. The hall on the right includes a projecting bay which extends beyond the front facade, creating a larger room heated by the lateral stack; this end of the building appears to have been raised. A single-storey, unheated service wing is attached to the rear of the lower end room.
The external appearance is of two storeys and an asymmetrical three-window front. A 20th-century plank door is on the right, alongside a 20th-century two-light casement window with a timber lintel on the left, both at ground floor level. First floor windows include a 20th-century two-light casement with a timber lintel to the left, and a late 18th-century four-pane sash with a timber lintel. The projecting bay on the right features late 19th-century four-pane sashes on both the ground and first floors. The left end of the building has a large external stack with an oven at its base, while the right end is blank. A doorway with a plank door is located at the rear, likely leading to the passage. The single-storey service wing has a 20th-century plank door and two-light casement window on the inner side, with a blind gable end and a small window opening on the outer side. The rear of the main range is blank.
The interior is inaccessible, but may retain original 17th-century features such as beams.
