Farmhouse and cottage. Probably late C17 or early C18; extended in C18 and altered, with a C20 extension to the rear. Mixed random rubble, the front painted white; stone slate roof. T-plan formed by single-depth 2-unit main range, on east-west axis facing north, with rear wing to 2nd unit and cottage added at west end. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, 4+2 windows. The 4-window main range has a gabled porch offset slightly right, chamfered flush mullion windows of 2 and 2 lights to the left, 3 and 2 lights to the right, all with remains of stone slate hoodmoulds, and four 2-light windows above (grouped 2 and 2). Large square chimney at junction to right (former gable), later or rebuilt gable chimney to left. The cottage to the right has a large gabled porch in the centre, with 2 tiers of pigeon holes over the doorway and a peephole in the left side, a 2-light mullioned window to the left, a similar but wider window to the right, and 2-light mullioned widows above; all these with squared surrounds and roughly squared flush mullions. Rear: gable of wing has a round-headed 1-light stair-window offset right, and an unusual corbelled chimney (corbelled base offset left at 1st floor and the shaft stepped diagonally to the square cap at the apex). INTERIOR: partitioning altered so that former housepart of main range is internally integrated with cottage; large elm beams in both these rooms.
