Description
This is an 18th-century farmhouse with associated garden and forecourt walls. The farmhouse is constructed of ashlar stone with a slate roof, featuring coped verges and brick stacks at each end. It has a symmetrical design, two storeys and an attic. The front facade is characterised by three-light stone-mullioned windows set within architraves, and a central architraved doorway with a six-panelled door. A 19th-century iron verandah with a corrugated tent-canopy hood extends across the front. To the right of the main house is a lower, brick outshut with a tile roof. This outshut contains a single bay with a two-, three- and four-light stone-mullioned window to the ground floor, each with stopped labels. A through carriageway is present on the right side of the outshut. A high brick garden wall runs to the left, topped with freestone coping. A squared rubble wall lines the roadside, also with stone coping, and a railed forecourt is defined by ashlar end piers and intermediate piers topped with urn finials and iron railings. A gateway is located on the right side, featuring incurved ashlar walls with stone piers, one of which has been rebuilt in reconstituted stone.
