Description

A farmhouse with attached barns, likely dating from the early 18th century and subsequently altered. The farmhouse is constructed of coursed rubble with quoins and some through-stones, with a whitewashed exterior, and has a slate roof on two levels. It has a single-depth, two-unit plan arranged along an east-west axis facing south, with a short rear wing centrally located. A stable and barn are attached to the west end, and a small shippon, or store, extends to the east.

The exterior presents two storeys and three windows, featuring a plinth and a stone slate drip-band above the ground floor. This drip-band is interrupted in the centre by a tall, single-storey gabled porch. The porch has a square-headed doorway, a slate roof which has been slightly lowered with a pitched water-tabling to the wall above, small side benches, a peep-window above the right-hand bench, and an inner board door. The ground floor features a six-pane sash window to the left, a six-pane fire-window to the left of that, and a twelve-pane fixed window and a six-pane sash window to the right. The upper floor has a small, rectangular four-pane window and a nine-pane window to the left, and a six-pane sash window to the right. A corbelled chimney is situated at the junction with the stable to the left, and a ridge chimney is at the junction with the shippon to the right. A narrow, one-bay stable is attached to the left, with external steps leading to the doorway and a loft doorway above (the deck is missing). A lower, two-storey barn continues to the left, featuring a segmental-headed wagon doorway offset to the right, a small window on each side, a drip-course, and two windows above. There is a doorway on the lower level at the left end, and a large lean-to shippon has been added to the west gable. A one-bay shippon is located at the east end, with a doorway that abuts the junction with the main house. A small, blocked fire-window is present on the rear of the main range, along with a short gabled wing containing a narrow stair-window.

The interior includes four lateral beams; the first was formerly a smokehood bressumer; the third has a partial original wooden lateral partition towards the rear (a new partition has been inserted under the front half of the fourth beam). A blocked fire-window opening exists in the rear left corner of the house part, and a dog-legged stone staircase is off the rear right corner. The rear wing contains a pantry with stone shelves.
