Farmhouse, with attached barn. Probably late C17 or early C18 (the barn earlier but with roof repaired following fire in C20); C19 lean-to at west end recently raised to 2 storeys and lean-to added to that. Roughly coursed large rubble with quoins, the house with remains of whitewash and the extension of random rubble; stone slate roof to the house, slate roof to barn. The HOUSE has a single-depth plan of 2 very unequal units, on an east-west axis facing north, with the extension and lean-to at the west end; and the barn continued at the east end. Two storeys and 2 windows, the left gable built over the end of the barn. The ground floor has a small gabled porch offset to the left (either recent or rebuilt), a small 1-light window to the left and 2 small 4-pane sashes to the right (the 2nd smaller), and the upper floor has 2 small 6-pane sashes; all the windows have irregular stone lintels painted black, and all the sashes have exposed boxes. The extension to the right has a 4-pane fixed window at ground floor, and a recent lean-to addition to the gable wall. Rebuilt ridge chimney at junction with extension. The rear wall incorporates a massive boulder near the west end, above which there is a small fire-window; and there is a small pantry window near the east end. INTERIOR: stone partition wall to left of doorway, lateral beam to right of doorway and underdrawn ceiling to west of that; quarter-turn staircase in rear left corner; narrow service end to east with former pantry now converted as bathroom. The BARN to the left has a doorway at the junction, a square window next to this, a former wagon doorway in the centre with rubble voussoirs, now blocked and reduced, and a segmental-headed wagon doorway to the left with similar rubble voussoirs. Rear: house has small fire-window at west end, small pantry window at east end, and 2 windows above. INTERIOR not inspected.
