Farmhouse. Probably late C17 or early C18, altered in late C18 or early C19, and again recently. Slobbered rubble, graduated slate roof. Irregular T-plan formed by a single-depth range of 2 wide units, on a north-south axis facing west, with a rear wing, and an extension at the south end. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, 4:2 windows. The 4-window main range has a large single-storey gabled porch in the centre, with plain square-headed outer and inner doorways; a late C18 or early C19 6-light mullioned window to the left with plain surround and flat-faced flush mullions; old chamfered mullioned windows of 3 and 2 lights to the right, with a continuous stone slate dripband over them; 4 square windows to 1st floor, all with 6 panes and casement openings in the top tier but the first 2 tilting and the others top-hung. Left gable wall and its chimney recently rebuilt; ridge chimney at junction to right. The 2-window extension at the south end has a square-headed doorway, a tilting casement to the left and top-hung casements above. Rear: some through-stones and small windows to the main range, gabled service wing to rear of north bay. INTERIOR not inspected, but likely to contain some historical features of interest.
