Description

The building is a farmhouse dating from the late 18th century to early 19th century, located southeast of the White House. It is constructed from coursed, squared rubble with quoins and features a graduated slate roof with a stone chimney, coping, and kneelers at the west end. The front is symmetrical, with two storeys and three bays. The central entrance has a part-glazed door set in a rusticated surround, flanked by paired windows. On the first floor, there is a single casement window between two paired casements, all within stone surrounds.

Adjoining the east end is a later barn, which is taller and made of snecked rubble. It also has a graduated slate roof with stone copings and kneelers, and a stone chimney at the west end. The barn features a single window in stone surrounds on each floor to the left, along with a byre door and a coach door that have elliptical heads. There is a byre door to the right with a hay-loft door above it. A single-storey range of outbuildings projecting to the east is not included in this listing.
