Farmhouse. Early C17 with later C17 addition, major C19 remodelling and C20 addition. Rendered cob and rubble walls. Gable-ended asbestos slate roof. 3 rendered brick stacks - one at each gable-end and one axial offset from the ridge. Plan: originally 3-room-and-through-passage plan, lower end to the right.
