House and barn, now farm outbuilding. Early C17 and mid-late C18 additions. Coursed squared gritstone, graduated stone slate roof. 2 storeys, 1 bay with 2-storey, l-bay addition to right. 3-bay barn on left. Main range: board door right in quoined surround with deep chamfer and elliptical arch to lintel. Windows, left: ground floor: 3-light flat-faced mullioned type, one mullion missing; first floor: 3-light recessed-chamfered mullion window, one mullion missing. No stacks visible. Additional bay to right: board door in sawn-stone surround right, square window in plain stone surround left, similar surround (right jamb missing) to pitching door above. Barn: original openings obscured by lean-to additions not of special interest. Stone coursing continued from house. Rear: fire window ground floor centre of domestic range. Interior, house: earlier bay: entry onto steep flight of very worn stone steps built into the side of a large chimney stack. Fireplace with single-block sides and cambered lintel, now blocked. Stone shelves built into walling to left of entrance. Door through to extra bay to right, blocked on conversion to farm use. First floor, earlier bay: small fireplace, plain stone surround and moulded lintel against left gable. Although extensively altered in the second half of the C18 this house retains the features of an early C17 single-bay house which is a typical form for over 100 years in this area. The large fireplace in the living room/ kitchen was probably underbuilt in the C18 but the fire window, the steep and very worn steps and the hood above may be part of the earlier house. The house is one of 6 dwellings remaining of the old settlement of Thruscross on the north side of the reservoir.
