Farmhouse with attached shippon or stable, now used as stock shelter and hay loft. Probably late C17 or early C18; altered. Roughly coursed mixed rubble, mostly limestone, with some sandstone lacing courses and through-stones, sandstone dressings and quoins; outbuilding of coursed sandstone rubble; stone slate roof. Single-depth 2-unit plan on north-south axis, facing east (built back to road), with 1-unit outbuilding added at north end. EXTERIOR: 2 low storeys and 3 windows. The ground floor has a doorway offset slightly right, with quoined jambs and flat-arched head with large rubble voussoirs, and a wooden frame now lacking the door; a small segmental-headed 1-light fire-window and a 2-light flush mullion window to the left, both chamfered and both with diamond-set iron saddle-bars and stone slate hoodmoulds, and a similar 2-light window to the right. The upper floor has a small chamfered 1-light window to the left and 2 similar 2-light mullioned windows lacking mullions and glazing. The outbuilding attached to the north has a doorway abutting the junction. The left (south) gable wall has remains of a formerly corbelled chimney with added stepped under-building below. The rear (where the ground floor is now back-to-earth) has an inserted loading doorway immediately over the top of a 2-light mullioned window; another loading doorway to the loft of the outbuilding. INTERIOR: ground floor remodelled for livestock; upper floor (now open from end to end), has 2 principal rafter trusses and trenched purlins. The relatively unaltered facade with original openings, despite loss of mullions and glazing, is a valuable survival.
