Group of 3 detached farm buildings lying respectively on the north, east and south sides of the farmyard. East and south buildings are probably late C17 or early C18; north building may be later. Stone rubble and cob. Corrugated iron roofs. The south building is a barn, built of stone but with a cob gable at west end, this having a tiny window at the apex. Roof is half-hipped at east end and the timbers of a similar half-hip survive internally at west end, with spars showing the roof was formerly thatched. Trusses have collars pegged to the face of principal rafters. East buildings is 2-storeyed with stone in ground storey and cob above. Roof hipped on south and half-hipped on north; some thatching spars survive. Roof- trusses are very like those in barn. At north end of front wall, upper storey has 2 early wooden windows, each of 2 lights with mullions moulded on the inside and diagonally-set vertical bars dividing the lights. South end, formerly a stable, has old plank door on wrought-iron strap-hinges. Inside, the upper floor-beams are chamfered, with run-out stops. North building is all of stone with a series of wide openings in ground storey, the upper storey having been converted into a flat. It may have been a linhay. Roof hipped at east end. The buildings make a good group with the adjacent farmhouse (q.v.) on west.
