Bitumen coated rag and scantle slate roofs; west range with gable ends and brick end stacks; north range with hipped end on west, brick stack in gable end on east and further extended on east by east wing with lower slate roof with hipped ends. South range with hipped roof. Plan considerably altered and original arrangement uncertain. West range possibly circa C17; two room and cross or through passage plan heated by end stacks. South range possibly contemporary forming wing of one room plan to rear of right hand room of west range. In circa mid C18 north range added forming heated wing of one room plan to rear of left hand room of west range. In circa late C18 or early C19 the east range was added with a two room and through passage plan, the north room (on right) heated by an axial stack adjoining the earlier gable end stack of the north wing.
