Subsidiary features: C20 extension to left is attached to early C19 one-storey outbuilding, of slatestone with slate roof, which flanks left-hand side of front garden. An early/mid C19 L-shaped wall of slatestone, with ashlar coping, piers and iron gate, encloses the front garden and is returned to the right end of the farmhouse; at this point, the wall encloses a well. Wall thicknesses and floor levels suggest that the unit to the right of the porch is of earlier date.
