Description

This is a farmhouse and adjoining barn located approximately 46 meters to the northeast of Crosthwaite Corn Mill. The tenement was first mentioned in 1618, and while deeds suggest that the current house dates from around 1828, the interior features indicate it may be older, with later alterations. The barn and byre range next to the house may also be a rebuild or addition from around 1828.

The structures are built from coursed squared rubble with quoins; the house is rendered, while the barn features rows of projecting through-stones. Both buildings have graduated slate roofs. The two-storey, three-bay house includes a part-glazed inner door leading to a central gabled porch, which has internal slate side benches. It features late 20th-century double-glazed aluminium casements in the original openings under a drip-course, on both floors.

The single-storey, three-bay barn has an 'L'-shaped plan, with a central wagon entrance that has pivoted plank double doors and a plank door in the outshut on the right. The byre on the lower ground floor includes two plank doors and a casement window in the south gable, along with a lean-to earth closet. Inside the house, there are stop-chamfered beams, doors with fielded panels, and a dog-leg closed string stair with square-section balusters.
