Farmhouse and cottage, now all one dwelling; unoccupied and renovation in progress at time of inspection (July 1994). Probably early to mid C18, enlarged and altered as 2 dwellings in C19. Cement-washed random rubble with quoins, stone slate roof (slate to rear wing). Formerly L-plan formed by a single-depth 2-unit range on an east-west axis facing north, with an outshut to the rear of the east end, then enlarged by the addition of one unit at the west end, a rear wing in the angle with the outshut and a further outshut in the west angle of this. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, 3:1 windows. The ground floor has windows (w) and doorways (d) arranged w-w-d-w-d-w, the doorways square-headed with renewed board doors, the first window (probably formerly a fire-window) rectangular with 9-pane fixed glazing and the others sashed, with vertical glazing bars only (10, 8 and 8 panes, the first 2 of these being large and square). All the upper windows are sashed, the 1st and 4th like those below and those between 16-paned and hornless. Gable chimneys, that to the left almost square and both with stone slate cornices. The east (left) gable wall has a small sash at ground floor and a 2-light chamfered flush mullion window at 1st floor of the outshut. Rear wing has large sashes like those at the front. INTERIOR: not inspected but 2 beams and C18 fireplace visible.
