Former farmhouse. C17 in two phases. Square-panelled timber framing with rendered infill on a limestone rubble plinth; stone slate roof; early brick and painted C20 brick stack. 'T'-shaped plan. C20 flat-roofed extension not of special interest. 1½ storeys. North-facing elevation from left to right: 2-light casement with stanchion bars; single-light casement; 4-light casement with several bull's-eye glass panes. Tall timber-framed eaves dormer with ovolo-moulded oak mullions and transom and jettied gable with core. West-facing gable end: blocked doorway; two 2-light wooden casements one with bull's eye glass panes; small 2-light wooden casement above with an early fleur-de-lys shaped fastening. Lean-to porch with plank door to the right of the projecting gable. Range at right angles: from left to right: 3-light casement with early plank shutter; C20 cross window; 3- light timber-framed eaves dormer above with jettied gable with core; similar 3-light eaves dormer on the east side. Axial stack. Interior: open fireplace with bressumer with compass drawn rosette; beams with deep flat chamfers and moulded stops; several old plank doors with thumb latches; some C17 sunken panelling upstairs. A particularly good and relatively unaltered example of a farmhouse of this period.
