At the rear 2 smaller unheated service rooms in an integral outshut with a stairwell at the centre. 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 5-window front with regular fenestration of 2-light C19 casements, 6 panes per light, 5 to the ground floor, 3 to the first floor. C19 front door to the right under a long slate pentice carried on rustic wooden posts and rising as atimber gable in the centre. To the rear in the centre a slightly raised raking roof, possibly above the staircase, one 4-light ovolo-moulded mullioned window to the rear. Interior Not thoroughly inspected, the central ground floor room has a chamfered unstopped cross beam, fireplaces said to have C20 grates. An outbuilding to the rear right (north east) forms a narrow rear courtyard with a parallel wall. To the south west a tall cob garden wall on stone rubble footings has corrugated iron and tile capping and a doorway leading to the farmyard and the circa C16 barn.
