Description
This is a detached farmhouse, dating from the mid-18th century. It is constructed of dressed stone and has a thatched roof with stone chimney stacks on both the left and right hand gables. The building is two stories high and has three windows on the front elevation. These windows are 3-light wooden casements with horizontal glazing-bars, and have wooden sills. Keyed stone lintels sit above the windows, and a plank door with strap hinges is located centrally, also with a stone lintel above. The attached store to the left is not part of the listed building.
