Farmhouse with attached outbuilding. Probably later C17; altered. Roughly coursed sandstone rubble with quoins, slate roof. Single-depth 2-unit plan on east-west axis, built back to road and facing south. EXTERIOR: 2 low storeys, 4 windows. The ground floor has an added lean-to porch in the centre, protecting an old double-layered studded oak door with a pegged oak doorcase, strap hinges, a pull-handle, and a large wooden lock on the inside; 2 oblong fixed windows to the left (6 and 8 panes respectively), and an enlarged oblong window to the right. The 1st floor has 3 windows now furnished with top-hung casements and a small square window between the 2nd and 3rd, now a tilting casement. The left gable has stone coping and a very broad square chimney (which, unlike the other chimney and contrary to the prevalent local practice in this period, is not corbelled externally but extends approx. 1 metre into the roof); the right-hand gable has a corbelled chimney (corbels enclosed by added outbuilding). Rear: 2 widely separated small 1-light windows at ground floor, a blocked stair-window in the centre and a wide stone slate course over the upper floor. INTERIOR: lateral stone partition wall to right of doorway, inserted partition to left under chamfered beam; scored joists either side of this; similar joists in parlour to right; short quarter-turn stone staircase off rear corner of housepart (now entrance hall).
