Farmhouse. C17 wing (ruinous on survey); house probably an early C19 recasting of a C17 original, with later addition. House roughcast with gabled slate roofs; stacks with rendered shafts. Wing of local red sandstone rubble; largely roofless and overgrown. PLAN: Single-depth rectangular main block, facing north. This may have been the hall range (front lateral stack) rebuilt at the west end. East end crosswing projects to the front. This is 2 rooms on plan, roofless and largely ruinous. The north end wall masonry is different and the gable end may have been rebuilt. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 2:1-window front, the roofline lower over the right end. Front door at right end of left-hand block with 4-panel door with overlight with glazing bars. Large 2- and 3-light casement windows with glazing bars. The wing has a 3-window west front with a C19 door to the left. 2 ground-floor windows, the right-hand window 3-light with an ovolo-moulded C17 wood-mullioned window; one first-floor window. The east elevation has one similar ovolo-moulded mullioned window. INTERIOR: Main range not inspected. The rear ruin of the wing retains its ground floor ceiling with plastered-over crossbeams.
