Description
This is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with extensions added in the mid-19th century. It is constructed of rendered and painted stone rubble, with a rag slate roof featuring gable ends. A projecting stone rubble stack is visible on the right-hand gable end, incorporating a cloam oven projection, and a smaller 20th-century brick stack sits on the left-hand gable end. A mid-19th century range extends to the rear, featuring brick end stacks.
The original 17th-century section has a two-room plan with a cross or through passage, containing a hall-kitchen on the right, heated by an end stack, and a smaller parlour on the left, which may have originally been unheated. A shallow wing, likely dating to the early 18th century, was added to the front left. In the mid-19th century, the farmhouse was extended to the rear, creating a new front and giving the building a double-depth plan. This later addition comprises two principal rooms on either side of a central stair hall, and the original 17th-century section likely became the service range. A late 19th-century outshot was added to the right-hand gable end of the mid-19th century extension.
The 17th-century front has a symmetrical arrangement of windows. The rag slate roof extends over the shallow wing on the left, where there is a 19th-century two-light casement window on the ground floor. The section to the right includes a part-glazed door and a 19th-century six-pane sash window within a half-dormer with a raking roof. The rear range has a symmetrical three-window front with 19th-century twelve-pane horned sash windows and a central entrance door. The interiors are not accessible.
