Description
This is a house, likely dating from the late 17th or early 18th century, with a 19th-century extension. It is constructed of roughcast stone rubble and has a slate roof. The building is two storeys high and originally had four bays, with a fourth bay added later. A lean-to outshut is located on the left return. Most windows are sash windows with vertical glazing bars, with all windows in the third bay featuring this pattern. The first bay features a fire window. The fourth bay has two ground-floor windows with thick wooden frames, and a first-floor window with small-paned fixed glazing and an opening light. A gabled porch is situated in front of the second bay, with the entrance to the house being through the outshut. There are gable-end and cross-axial stacks. The rear of the building is built into the slope of the ground, and features small casement windows and an entrance in the first bay. Inside, there are chamfered beams and a reinstated heck partition in the fireplace.
