Farmhouse. Circa C17 or earlier, remodelled and extended in mid C19. Rendered stone rubble. Slate roof with gabled ends. Rendered gable end chimney stacks with moulded cornices, and similar stack at junction with rear wing. Plan: Probably a 3 room and cross or through passage plan, probably with an axial hall stack backing onto the passage and gable end stack at higher end. Solid masonry wall between hall and large inner room. The lower east end including the passage was demolished and rebuilt in mid C19 at right angles, to form the main front of the house which consists of two principal rooms and a central stair hall. The hall and inner room of the original house has its eaves raised and became the service wing at the rear of the left hand room of the mid C19 addition with a single storey rear outshut in the angle. Exterior: 2 storeys. Symmetrical 3 window east front to mid C19 addition. Large C19 12-pane sashes. Central doorway with 4 panel door and plain rectangular fanlight, enclosed within a circa early C20 glazed porch. The out south facing side of the rear wing has been remodelled with 2 12- pane sashes on both floors. The inner north face of the wing has a projecting stair turret and a large single storey lean-to outshut in the angle. Interior: Most of the mid C19 internal joinery survives, including panelled doors and the staircase with turned balusters. In the rear wing a stair turret at junction of former hall and inner room has stone newel stairs. The hall fireplace is blocked. The roof is entirely C19 with softwood trusses.
