Description
This is an early 18th-century house, restored in the 20th century. The building is constructed of regular coursed limestone with a slate roof and follows an L-shaped plan. It is two storeys high with an attic. The main front has a three-window range on the left, with a projecting cross wing to the right. The windows are casement types with glazing bars; some have wooden lintels while others have concrete lintels. A central door with six panels is set under a wooden lintel, and has a 20th-century hood above it. The cross wing has a catslide roof extending to the far right, topped by an ashlar gable parapet and kneelers. A central brick stack is present. The interior has not been inspected.
