House has off-centre C20 door in C19 stone surround. Large mullioned-and-transomed windows, those on ground floor under continuous hoodmould, each individual stone of the surrounds initialled R.S., followed by a number or date too weathered to read. Right barn has centre sliding door and flanking casement windows, all under slit vents. Left barn is of 2 builds, that nearest the house and now partly domestic, probably early C18; with C19 extension under common roof. The older part has a single-storey pent extension and right sash and casement windows in C19 stone surrounds; the gable wall, continuous with the house front, has a 2-light window under a casement window, both in stone surrounds. Barn extension has a large projecting segmental cart doorway, the keystone dated and inscribed. Upper slit vents and a small left belt-driven threshing wheel. Rear of farmhouse has a C19 extension. Rear of right barn has plank doors and loft doorway, all in chamfered stone surrounds, under slit vents. Rear of 1831 barn has plank door in rebated surround under slit vents, and right pent extension. Interior of farmhouse has beamed ground-floor ceilings.
