Farmhouse with added cottage and stable. Probably early C18, the cottage and stable added (or rebuilt) in late C18 or early C19. The house is of mixed random rubble with quoins and one course of through-stones, the cottage and stable of watershot coursed rubble, the front of the house and cottage white-washed; with a stone slate roof to the whole range. Linear plan on east-west axis, facing south, the house single-depth and 2 units with a very shallow outshut to the second, the cottage of one wide unit attached to the west end and the stable beyond that. EXTERIOR: the house, 2 low storeys and 4 windows (the 4th blocked), has a wide asymmetric gabled porch offset right with a doorway offset left and a window in its right-hand side wall; a square 4-pane window and oblong 6-pane window to the left at ground floor and a small oblong 2-light casement to the right; 2 square 4-pane casements to the left at 1st floor, a larger square 12-pane window to the right and a blocked 1-light window near the right-hand corner. Apart from the casement at ground floor each of these windows has fixed glazing with one opening pane. Chimneys at both original gables. The rear has prominent through-stones, and the outshut to the 2nd bay has a low dairy window to the left and a small stair window to the right. The cottage (attached by ragged vertical joint), has a doorway at each end and 2 square windows on each floor: 6 and 4 panes at ground floor, 4 panes above, with glazing like that of the house. Ridge chimney at junction with stable. The stable has 2 doorways to the left and one window on each floor to the right, the upper very small. INTERIOR: not inspected but house would appear to have conventional plan with housepart to left, parlour to right, staircase and dairy to rear of that; occupant reports that it contains old beams.
