Description
The house is probably late 17th century. It is constructed of regular coursed ironstone with a corrugated metal roof. The building follows a lobby-entry plan, forming an L-shape. It is a single-story building with an attic. The main front of the house has a two-window range of 19th-century casements with glazing bars, set beneath wooden lintels. A 20th-century door is positioned under a wooden lintel, with a lean-to hood to the far left. An ashlar gable parapet is present on the left side, and a brick stack rises from the ridge. A cross wing projects forward to the right, with a one-window range of 19th-century casements to the return wall. Internally, there is an open fireplace with a bressumer.
