Description
This is a farmhouse from the late 18th or early 19th century, featuring two storeys and three bays, constructed of painted rubble with dressed margins around the openings. The front is symmetrical and includes a later rendered gabled porch. The windows are all single light, with sash and case 4-pane glazing, except for one window on the first floor which has 2-pane frosted glass. The roof is fairly steeply pitched and covered with slate, featuring coped end stacks and a sandstone ridge and skews. The rear elevation is also made of painted rubble and has single light windows with 2-pane sashes. There are two single storey lean-to additions flanking the house, with the eastern addition having modern window alterations.
