Description

A farmhouse and stables, likely dating from the late 17th century, with alterations made in the 19th century. The farmhouse has painted rendered walls, possibly partly of clay, and a Welsh slate roof with 20th-century brick chimney stacks. It is two storeys high, with five bays, and has stables to the left, all under a common roof forming an L-shape. Plank doors are set in painted stone surrounds. The ground floor has single-pane and three-pane sash windows, and above are gabled dormer sash windows with glazing bars. The right-hand end bay has been converted into a garage. The stables have cobble walls and a large plank door set in a sandstone surround; an enlarged loft opening is situated above.
