Farmhouse with attached store (probably formerly house). Probably late C17 (contains cupboard dated 1675), mostly remodelled, with addition, in C19. Roughly coursed sandstone rubble with quoins, the front of the main range roughcast and painted; stone slate roof. T-plan formed by 2-unit main range (remodelled in C19) on north-south axis with C17 outshut to rear of northern unit and store continued at north end. EXTERIOR: main range, 2 storeys and 3 windows, almost symmetrical, has central doorway with pentice canopy, 4-pane sash to left, coupled 4-pane sashes to right, three 4-pane sashes above, and gable chimney to left. Earlier portion to right, 2 higher storeys, has one 4-pane sash on each floor close to the junction, blocked doorway to right of this, 2 windows to the right, the second smaller and now blocked (perhaps a former fire-window); and gable chimneys. Rear: prominent outshut of 2 low storeys has 3 former 2-light mullioned windows with chamfered surrounds but lacking mullions: one on each floor to the left and a stair-window to the right, the upper with 12-pane fixed glazing and the others with stone-slate drip-bands. Store to left has (inter alia) a tall round-headed doorway and an altered square window above. INTERIOR: housepart in 2nd bay has large built-in cupboard with one large 2-panel door on butterfly hinges and above this a small square carved door with raised lettering "MT 1675" over a decorated diamond (perhaps a re-located spice cupboard door).
