Farmhouse. C17 or earlier origins with some C19 and C20 alterations. Colourwashed and rendered, probably stone rubble; corrugated asbestos roof, gabled at ends; projecting left end stack, 2 projecting rear lateral stacks. Plan: originally a 3 room and through passage arrangement, now 4 rooms wide with a stair introduced into the passage. It is not entirely clear which was the lower end: probably originally the right hand room byt the house may have been turned round, the old hall becoming part of the service end with an C18 or C19 kitchen added at the left and the former lower end re-used as a parlour. The partition between the 2 right hand rooms has been removed. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 5-window front with a C20 glazed porch to the front door to the stair hall to right of centre; C20 French window with glazing bars at the extreme right; attractive fenestration of C19 3 and 4-light small pane timber casements. Interior: Both left hand fireplaces have bread ovens, but the first from left (probabl the original hall) has one moulded stone to the right hand jamb; stud partition wall between this room and the passage. C17 timber front door. Roof: Not inspected but roof timbers said to be C19 or C20.
