Random rubble local stone, asbestos slate roof hipped to left, brick stacks to right of central entrance and between first and second bays right, Plan 3-cell and cross passage facing north with coeval or almost contemporary single bay addition west gable end.

Interior: kitchen to right of through passage with spice cupboard, steeply chamfered beads with step and runout stops, depressed Tudor arch head doorframe from through passage into hall, 6-panel compartment ceiling, cob wall to inner roof with scroll stops to chamfered beam which appears to have been used as a store for some time. Apparently the property is referred to in 1664 as Blindmore Manor, and was part of the nearby Forde Abbey estate in 1839 (VAG Report,unpublished SR0, 1978).
