Description

The building has a three-cell direct-entry plan and stands two storeys high with three windows on the first floor. The ground floor has a 20th-century stable door flanked by small four-pane casements, with large three-light casements on either side. The first floor consists of casements throughout. The house has sprocketed eaves and a steeply-pitched roof with an external stack on the left and a stack at the right end. Inside, stop-chamfered beams and joists are visible in the ground floor rooms, showing some evidence of repositioning. There is a massive bressumer in the sitting room.
