Farmhouse, now house. Probably late C17 or early C18; altered, and refurbished in 1970s. Roughly coursed mixed rubble with quoins, stone slate roof. L-plan formed by single-depth 2-unit main range on south-west/north-east axis facing south-east with a short rear wing to the left half. EXTERIOR: storeys and now 5 windows but probably formerly 3. The ground floor has a single-storey gabled porch in the centre with a square-headed doorway under a large monolith lintel and a stone slate roof, the left side of which is made of 2 massive slabs; and 2 formerly 2-light mullioned windows each side, all with chamfered surrounds and formerly with recessed chamfered stone mullions (parts of which are lying loose in the garden) but all now with plastic double glazing. The 1st floor has one similar window to the left and 2 to the right, plus 2 small inserted windows with similar glazing (one at the left end and the other above the left side of the porch). Gable chimneys, that to the left corbelled. The left side has a continuous stone slate drip-course over the ground floor, an inserted square window at ground floor of the gable wall and a much enlarged oblong window on each floor of the wing, all with similar plastic glazing. (Continued further to the rear is the roughcast side-wall of a C19 barn, which is no longer included in the item.) INTERIOR: radically modernised. Formerly listed in error as in Garsdale CP.
