House, now two houses. 1696. Slobbered rubble with stone slate roof. Long range with short cross wing to left. The cross wing has 2 small chamfered lights at ground level and a C19 square fixed light above, with a large dovecote in the gable. Modern doorway and door in the return. The main range then has two bays set back, with a slightly chamfered doorway (either recent or completely replaced) and a similar 3-light window; over these are sashes with glazing bars. Two more bays step forward with a chamfered doorway (the slightly pointed lintel has been raised) inscribed E 16 WA 96. Over this is a small chamfered light. Beside it is a sash window with glazing bars, similar to two on first floor. Large fixed window to right hand side of ground floor. To right return wall is a massive external chimney stack. Inside Ellis cottage (but opposite the inscribed doorway to Ellis House) is a very large elliptical arched fireplace with a shield on the lintel carved with the same initials and the date 1702.
