Description

This is a late 17th or early 18th century farmhouse with attached shippons (agricultural buildings), altered over time. It is constructed of mixed random rubble with quoins, with the front painted white, and has a stone slate roof, with some blue slate at the rear. The building forms an irregular "L" shape. The main range is a single-depth, two-unit structure facing south on an east-west axis, with an outshut added to the rear, a shippon at the east end, and a projecting wing to the south of that.

The front of the farmhouse has two storeys and three windows. There is a wide doorway in the centre, sheltered by a low stone porch with a monopitched roof. To the left of the doorway is a two-light casement window, and a square eight-pane sash window is to the right, featuring vertical glazing bars only. Three small, irregularly placed casement windows are set into the first floor. All windows have small panes of glass. A gable chimney with two bands of stone slate is located to the left, and another chimney is situated at the junction with the shippon. The rear of the farmhouse has a sixteen-pane window on the ground floor of the west bay, a small four-pane window above it, and a two-storey outshut is added to the east bay. The east-facing shippon has gable walls with doorways near each corner and a loading door above. Attached to the south side of this shippon is a further shippon with a wagon doorway at the junction and a large outshut adjacent to it.

Inside the farmhouse, a thick stone partition wall runs along the right side of the doorway, and a 19th-century partition has been inserted to the left. The left-hand portion of the house features a large chamfered lateral beam supporting heavy square joists on the east side, between the beam and a stone partition; a secondary axial beam on the west side carries smaller joists. These features suggest the house was originally of sleeping-loft type. A stone staircase is located in the rear corner of the house, and the first floor has an old plank partition over the housepart and three batten-and-board doors with wooden snecks and pull-handles.

The building forms a group with a barn located approximately 4 meters to the north-west.
