A former single-storey gabled thatched and whitewashed cottage which built in the early to mid 19th century. Now demolished with no trace of former house remaining and the site is overgrown. A range of two-storey outbuildings previously relating to the former house, still remain but appear disused. Outbuildings are gabled, pitched and slated with rubble-stone construction having vestiges of render and whitewash remaining. Two-storey block having half-doors, timber sheeted and high level openings are generally timber sheeted also. Interior walling is largely exposed rubble, (some cement render and whitewashing), roof structure is late 20th century with some repairs evident to wallheads; some timber mangers remain to wall; floor covered in very thick layers of straw. Similar, single-storey buildings abuts having timber sheeted door to centre and multi-pane metal frame window remains to right; left-side abutted by single-storey, pitched corrugated iron structure largely obscured by vegetation.
