This is a late 16th-century farmhouse, significantly remodelled and partly rebuilt in the mid-19th century. It is constructed of roughly coursed slate-stone, rendered to the front of the hall range, with granite quoins and granite ashlar used for the oriel. The roof is slate and features ceramic cresting. The building has a basic L-shaped layout, with a hip-roofed oriel positioned at the angle where the hall range meets the cross-wing; the hall range was largely rebuilt in the 19th century to the right of the left ridge stack.

The hall range has three late 19th-century casement windows on the first floor and one window to the left of the front door, which is 4-centred with hollow spandrels and a boarded door with decorated strap hinges. A four-light mullion window to the right of the doorway is chamfered and flat-faced, divided into two sections by a central king mullion. The oriel has four-light mullion windows to the first floor, also divided by a central king mullion, with moulded jambs. A ground-floor four-light mullion window adjacent to the oriel, with a king mullion, features two sets of paired ogee-headed lights with trefoils to the spandrels. A window located to the left side of the oriel has been infilled, cut by the rebuilt front wall of the hall range. The left wall of the cross-wing has a two-light mullion window on the ground floor, similar to that on the ground floor of the oriel. A three-light mullion window is to the right on the ground floor, directly above which is a two-light mullion window. Rendered ridge stacks are located to the left and far right of the hall range, with an integral end stack to the cross-wing.

A two-storey catslide outshut to the rear has a gable breaking the eaves, lit by a tall, narrow rectangular window with margin lights, and a similar round-headed window lights the staircase to the right. A reused segmental-headed, chamfered doorway is located at the right end of the outshut, alongside a small slit window on the first floor to the left end. A lean-to structure houses the back staircase, positioned to the rear of the cross-wing at the junction with the hall range. A 19th-century lean-to dairy is attached to the right gable end of the hall range.

Inside, a moulded 4-centred archway, with hollow spandrels and aligned with the mullion windows in the left wall of the cross-wing, connects the cross-wing to the oriel. A partition wall running along the axis of the hall range, behind the oriel, incorporates a 19th-century internal window with Gothic tracery. The right ground floor room of the hall range has flat, heavy joists. The cross-wing features large paired open fireplaces with a clom oven to the left and a 19th-century wooden mantel-shelf. The section of hall range to the left of the left stack has a collar and tie beam roof in three bays, with cambered collars and trenched purlins; however, apart from one collar and tie beam truss to the far right of the hall range, on the line with the left wall of the cross-wing, the remainder of the hall range roof was rebuilt in the 19th century using machine-sawn principal rafters, rafters and purlins. A 19th-century roof structure also extends to the cross-wing.
