Description
A late 17th-century farmhouse with adjoining barns, altered in the 19th century. The farmhouse has roughcast walls and a roof covered in graduated greenslate, with a brick chimney stack. It is two storeys high, with three bays, and a single-bay extension to the left, all sharing a common roof. A 17th-century studded oak door sits within a 17th-century gabled stone porch with side seats. The ground floor has 20th-century diamond-paned casement windows and a small fire window, all in original plain reveals. Upper-floor sash windows have glazing bars, set in enlarged plain reveals. The extension mirrors this design. To the right is a long barn with a continuous slated porch. The barn's roof level was raised, with slit vents added. It has a large cart entrance and a further plank doorway to the right. Inside the farmhouse is a 17th-century panelled spice cupboard. Kitchen and dairy lean-to extensions to the left of the farmhouse are not of historic interest.
