Description
This is a house with an attached outbuilding, likely dating from the late 17th or early 18th century, with a later extension. The house is constructed of painted stone rubble, with a slate roof. It originally comprised three bays, with the third bay being a later addition. An outbuilding is attached to the left side. A dripcourse runs above the ground floor of the outbuilding and the first two bays of the main house. The windows are small and have casements; there are no windows in the third bay. The main entrance is sheltered by a gabled porch with a cambered lintel. The attached outbuilding has an entrance sheltered by a lean-to canopy, with a small window to the right. A small window is visible on the first floor, set within a blocked opening that interrupts the dripcourse. Two short, cross-axial chimney stacks are present. The rear of the building features an outshut with a catslide roof. The left return has an entrance giving access to the first floor of the outbuilding, while the right return has an entrance and casement windows.
