Description
A house, likely originally two cottages, probably dating from the 18th century, with extensions added in the 19th century and interior alterations in the 20th. The house is constructed of whitewashed stone rubble with a slate roof with gable ends. A prominent stone rubble stack is located at the right gable end, featuring offsets, a tapered cap, and a slate cap supported by brick uprights at the corners. There is also a smaller stone ridge stack and a stack to the gable end of the rear wing.
The original layout is obscured by later changes, but it seems to have comprised a two-room, central entry plan cottage on the right and a smaller, single-room plan cottage to the left, with a small service room with a half gable added at the left end. In the 19th century, a large kitchen wing was added to the rear right side. In the 20th century, the front right-hand range was completely remodelled, with the ceiling to the left-hand room and the passage removed, transforming the right-hand room into an entrance hall.
The house is two storeys high, except for the 20th-century alterations to the central room of the main range. It has a five-window range with 20th-century 2-light casement windows, each with six small panes. A porch has a slate slab leanto canopy. A 20th-century plank door features, as does a 20th-century stable door to the left. A leanto roof extends from the porch at the right gable entry.
