The building is a farmhouse, dating to around the 17th century, with a later addition of a rear wing from the mid-19th century. It is constructed of stone rubble with steeply pitched roofs covered in corrugated iron and asbestos slate, with gable ends. A slate roof covers the projecting rear wing, and a lower corrugated iron roof the projecting wing at the front. Stone chimney stacks are located at the gable ends of the main range, while a brick stack serves the 19th-century rear wing. The original layout is unclear due to alterations, but it likely comprised a two-room plan with a through passage. A parlour, now a dairy, is at the higher end (left), and a larger kitchen is at the lower end (right), both heated by end stacks. A short, originally unheated, two-storey projecting wing from the 17th century was added to the front, blocking the through passage; a 19th-century fireplace was inserted into one side wall, with the chimney shaft removed. A doorway now leads directly into the kitchen. The farmhouse may have continued further at its lower end, linking with a contemporary barn which is now a dwelling, though evidence is limited. A further wing was added to the rear in the mid-19th century.

The front elevation is asymmetrical with two windows on each storey, and timber lintels over the openings. A 19th-century two-light casement with glazing bars is on the ground floor at the higher end. A two-light casement without glazing bars is on the ground floor of the projecting wing, above a slate string. A glazed outshut porch with a low stone rubble wall and lean-to roof is also present. A centre-hung 19th-century casement with glazing bars is on the first floor at the higher end, and a two-light casement without glazing bars is in the gable end of the projecting wing. The rear elevation incorporates a 19th-century three-light casement with glazing bars to the kitchen, a lean-to stone rubble porch in the angle with the projecting rear wing, a late 19th-century two-light casement, and a 19th-century two-light casement with glazing bars above the rear entrance. The eaves may have been raised on the left side. 19th-century casements are found in the rear wing.

The interior is largely unaltered from the 19th century. The kitchen features heavy chamfered ceiling beams with run-out stops. The lower side of what was likely an earlier through passage has been removed. The original front entrance of the through passage is blocked, and the large kitchen fireplace is partly blocked. The dairy, first floor, and roof timbers were not inspected. The building represents a good example of an unspoiled farmhouse, retaining unaltered front and rear elevations and a 19th-century interior.
