Farmhouse with attached barn. Probably C17; altered and now verging on dilapidation. Roughly coursed sandstone rubble with quoins, stone slate roof. Single-depth 2-unit plan on north-south axis facing west with 3-bay barn continued to south, a large outshut or porch to the front of this slightly overlapping the house, and an added lean-to shippon at the rear of the barn. EXTERIOR: the house is 2 low storeys and 3 windows; the north bay has a crudely-shouldered doorway to the right (immediately left of the chimney stack), with an old batten-and-board door with 3 vertical boards, 3 rows of studs and 2 strap hinges, and a stone slate drip-band above; and a small square 6-pane window above and to the left (damaged). The 2nd bay has a stone slate drip-course over the ground floor, a 1-light fire-window and a blocked square window at ground floor, and another 1-light window and a small 4-pane window at 1st floor above these. There is a substantial square chimney on the ridge at the junction of the bays. The north gable wall has through-stones, and the rear wall is blind. The outshut to the barn has a doorway to the left and a corrugated iron roof. The rear wall of the barn has a square loading window; the shippon has a doorway in its rear wall. The relative positions of the doorway and chimney stack junction of the two bays suggests either that it was formerly only one unit extended at an early date, or that it was built as 2 units with a hearth-passage entry, which would be rare in this area. INTERIOR not inspected.
