Farmhouse. Probably late C17 or early C18; altered and enlarged, plus small C20 extension. White-painted random rubble with large quoins (outshut rendered), blue slate roof with green slate in the upper courses and stone riggings, rendered chimney. Single-depth 2-unit plan plus staircase outshut to rear (and C20 extension to south-west gable). EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and 2 windows, almost symmetrical; with a plinth, continuous stone slate drip-course over ground floor (interrupted by later porch), and interrupted course of through-stones above this. The doorway, offset slightly right, is square-headed, with a board door and a wide but shallow porch with thick stone side walls carrying a shallow pitched tiled roof (open to the front, the apex supported by a strut from a shaped wooden lintel). To the left is a 2-light casement with 4-paned lights, to the right a small 4-paned sashed window, and at 1st floor 2 small 2-light casements. Gable chimney to left. Taller barn (qv) attached to right-hand gable. Left gable has set-back lean-to extension. Rear: shallow full-height outshut to centre and south-west end (now rendered) with doorway at ground floor and 3 very small chamfered 1-light windows to the upper floor (that in the centre lower, being a stair-window). INTERIOR (inspected through windows): ground floor now a single vessel, with 2 lateral beams and rear right-hand corner enclosed by muntin-and-rail panelled partition. Forms group with barn attached to north-east end (qv) and with garden wall to front (qv).
