Description
Farmhouse dating to the late 16th century, with alterations made in the mid-20th century. The farmhouse is built of rendered material with a slate roof and has an external rendered stack on the right-hand side. It is originally a three-bay structure. The windows are irregularly placed; on the ground floor to the right is a five-light casement with glazing bars, and above it are a pair of two-light casements. There are two further windows to the extreme left of the gabled left-hand bay, all of which are 20th-century replacements. A central plank door with a glazed centre is accessed via a late 19th-century rustic wooden porch.
On the right return elevation, a small two-light window with ovolo moulded mullions and a hood mould is located on the first floor to the left of the external stack, illuminating the original staircase bay. A four-light mullioned window is present to the right of the ground floor, next to external steps leading to a loft door, which also has a hood mould.
The left return elevation features a fine late 16th- and early 17th-century studded door set within a four-centred arch doorway, embellished with decorated spandrels and moulded jambs with bulbous stops. The interior contains two four-centred arch doorways and two four-centred arch fireplaces, each with moulded wooden lintels. A small central courtyard has a first-floor three-light ovolo moulded, unglazed mullioned window.
