Farmhouse. C18 (datestone 1708 reset) wing and C18 small house at rear, circa early C19 at the front. Coursed dressed granite front with granite ashlar plinth and lintel courses. Asbestos slate hipped roof with brick chimneys over the side walls. External gable end stack to rear of kitchen wing. Plan: Overall rectangular plan built around a rectangular courtyard. Circa early C19 2-room-plan house at the front; C18 (or possibly older) kitchen wing at right angles behind the left-hand room; central stair hall projection at rear middle (later extended); on covered walk, open on its left-hand side, which adjoins the front right-hand side of a C18 small house returning parallel at the rear. This 2-room- plan house was heightened in the C19 and extended with a small barn on the right. The barn has a flight of stone steps up to its loft at the front. Exterior: 2 storeys. Symmetrical 3-window west front with central doorway. C20 door and C20 distyle granite porch in classical style. Original 12-pane hornless sashes. Set into the right-hand wall of the kitchen wing is a stone carved in relief inscribed OTAT 1708. This stone is reset and there are several C17 reused chamfered fragments in the same wall. It is possible that this wall is part of the C18 front. Interior: Some C19 features but no C18 features visible.
