Description
This is an early 19th century farmhouse constructed of limewashed rubble stone, with a stone-tiled roof, coped gables, and end and ridge stacks. The front facade has a symmetrical design, featuring a four-window arrangement of 12-pane sash windows set in flush stone surrounds. A door with an overlight is similarly framed with a flush surround and a hood supported by brackets. A later 19th century, L-shaped rear wing extends to the northwest and has its own eaves roof and 4-pane sash windows. Attached to the northeast is a stable building with coped gables, a segmental-arched upper loading door, and a central door flanked by windows on each side.
