Description
A farmhouse with an adjoining byre dating from the mid-18th century. The building is constructed from hammer-dressed limestone with a pantile roof. It follows a central-entry plan, with the byre located to the left. The farmhouse is two storeys high and features three bays, while the byre is single-storey. A four-panel door with an overlight provides access to the farmhouse. Original casement windows are set within openings with keyed wedge lintels. The roof is steeply pitched with sprocketed eaves. Other features include gable coping, shaped kneelers, banded end stacks, and a blind front facade to the byre, incorporating two stable doors to the rear. Sprocketed eaves are also present on the byre.
