Farmhouse. Probably early C18 (spice cupboard dated 1708); enlarged and altered. Mixed random rubble with quoins, the facade painted white; stone slate roof. L-plan formed by single-depth 2-unit main range with a rear wing to the left half, extended and enlarged with a 1-unit addition to the east end and a longer rear wing to that. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys (plus unexpressed attic), 2+5 windows, with a ragged vertical joint. The 5-window main range (the windows grouped 3:2, and those to the right at a slightly lower level) has a segmental-headed doorway below the 3rd window, with rubble voussoirs and arch-band, and a C20 glazed door; two windows to the left and 2 to the right at ground floor, all almost-square 6-pane sashes with vertical glazing bars only; and 5 similar windows above. The 2-window extension to the left has a doorway with stone lintel abutting the junction and 2 windows on each floor, those at ground floor slightly smaller and with stone lintels, but otherwise all like those of the main range. Ridge chimney at the junction, square corbelled chimneys at both ends, that to the left corbelled from 1st floor and the other at the apex. Rear: main range and its wing have random through-stones; small lean-to addition in angle; 3 offset stair-windows in gable of this wing, of diminishing size and the topmost blocked. Larger added wing has altered windows and lean-to porch at gable end. INTERIOR (ground floor of main range only): housepart has 2 large lateral beams and left of chimney-breast a carved decorated spice cupboard lettered "1708 / TLM"; altered parlour has 2 large axial beams.
