Farmhouse and attached barn, now house. Early C18, slightly altered. Roughly coursed sandstone rubble, the house white-washed; stone slate roof. Single-depth 2-unit plan on east-west axis, facing south, with a staircase outshut to the rear, and the barn continued at the east end (later lean-to at west end not of special interest). EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and 2 windows, almost symmetrical, with a stone slate drip-course over the ground floor interrupted in the centre by a gabled porch; a large oblong fixed window of 40 small panes to the left, with opening panes in the top corners, a square 20-pane fixed window above this with one opening pane in the top left corner, and a similar but smaller window on each floor to the right (the upper altered as a casement but retaining the small panes). Square extruded chimney at left gable, ridge chimney at junction with barn to right. The barn, a longer range on higher ground but otherwise continuous with the house, has a wagon doorway offset left of centre and a doorway to the left abutting the junction with the house. Rear: outshut continuous with barn; narrow stair-window near west end of outshut, small square 2-light casement to left and below this (pantry), 1-light window at 1st floor above this, and a recently-added gabled porch to the added lean-to; doorway to barn abutting junction with house, with board door, and loading door immediately above. INTERIOR: housepart to left has lateral beam, large C18 rectangular fireplace with corbelled lintel including a wide false keystone, narrow built-in cupboard in opposite wall, and stone staircase off rear corner (rebuilt steps).
