The house is double-depth and double-fronted. 2 storeys and 2 windows, almost symmetrical; a wide gabled porch offset right of centre with a square-headed outer opening and stone side benches; 2 small rectangular windows on each floor, all with raised sills and large stone wedge lintels, and all with altered glazing; small round-headed datestone above porch, inscribed "B / L A / 1766". Rear: stair-window offset left, with altered glazing and a stone slate drip-course above, and 1 window on each floor to the right, both with altered glazing. The barn to the left has shippon doorways to the front and a hay-store above entered from higher ground to the rear, where there is a wide lean-to porch. INTERIOR: not inspected. Apart from altered window joinery, a good example of a mid to later C18 farmhouse.
