Description

The building comprises a farmhouse and attached outbuildings, barns, and stables, dating from the early and mid-18th century and the 19th century. It is constructed of squared coursed limestone and ironstone, with Welsh and Collyweston slate and corrugated asbestos roofs. The house is L-shaped. The main front is asymmetrical with a three-window range. A six-panel door, positioned to the left of centre, has a 19th-century moulded stone surround with a bracketed cornice and a pediment over a fanlight featuring radiating glazing bars. Sash windows with glazing bars are set within similar stone surrounds, although there is evidence of re-fenestration to the first floor on the right side. Ashlar gable parapets, kneelers, and ashlar stacks are at the ends of the building. A range of early 18th-century stables and barns is attached to the left of the main front by a roofed carriage arch with a 19th-century slate roof, entered via plan doors under a wooden lintel. The road-facing elevation of the stables, with haylofts above, has two blocked door openings with hayloft doors positioned above. A corrugated asbestos roof covers this section. A similar range extends at right angles to the rear, forming two sides of a courtyard. The courtyard elevation has several stable doors under wooden lintels. A building attached to the rear of the farmhouse was likely a granary, featuring a Welsh slate roof. An external brick stair with plank doors under a wooden lintel leads to the head and ground floor of the granary. The interiors were not inspected, but it was noted that the house contains some panelling, and the barns retain remnants of their original roof structures.
