Farmhouse with attached barn. Perhaps C17, remodelled and enlarged in C18 and C19. White-washed coursed rubble, stone slate roof. Two-unit plan on east-west axis, facing north, formerly all single-depth but the 2nd unit raised and extended to the rear and a single-storey lean-to outshut added in the angle with this; barn continued to the east. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and 2 windows, with a shallow porch offset left of centre, a 16-pane sash on each floor to the left and similar but larger sashes on each floor to the right. Roof ridge higher over 2nd unit; lateral chimney on ridge at junction with barn to left, similar chimney at right-hand gable, both with 2 pitched stone-slate caps to the flues. Five-bay barn to left has square-headed doorway next to junction, a small sashed window above and to the left of this, a square-headed wagon doorway to the 2nd bay and a square window to the left of this. Rear has some small windows, including narrow stair-window. INTERIOR: doorway opening directly into housepart, which has one lateral beam and exposed joists; stone lateral partition to parlour on left, original doorway to this now boarded. Thick stone partition wall to rear rooms (originally external), incorporates (in kitchen to rear of housepart) a re-located carved bread cupboard (perhaps removed from partition to parlour) of which only the top tier and its mantel dated 1632 are now exposed.
