Description

This is an earlier 19th-century farmhouse with later alterations, accompanied by a walled garden and steading set to the southeast. The farmhouse is a 2-storey and attic, 5-bay, near-rectangular building constructed of painted rubble with raised sandstone margins and a stone base course. A whitewashed rubble steading is also present.

The northeast (entrance) elevation features an advanced, square-plan castellated porch with dentilled cornicing and ball finials, sheltering a two-leaf timber door. Single windows are positioned at the re-entrant angles of the porch. Above, a single window is aligned at the first floor, with an attic window in the gable. Single windows are set at ground and first floors to the flanking recessed bays. Advanced gabled bays project to the outer left and right, each with a bipartite window at ground floor, a single window at first floor, and distinctive gablehead finials. The left gable also has a blank square plaque. A 3-light canted window is located at ground and first floor levels on the right-hand bay.

The southwest (rear) elevation is six-bayed. An advanced gabled bay to the outer left has bipartite windows at ground and first floors. The penultimate bay to the left has a single window at ground and first floors, with a timber door in the re-entrant angle. A blank re-entrant angle sits to the right, leading to a piended bay with a timber door at ground level, a single window to the left, two single windows at first floor and a single window at ground and first floor to the penultimate bay to the right. Similarly blank re-entrant angles flank the gabled bay to the outer right.

The northwest (side) elevation has central single windows at ground and first floor levels.

The farmhouse has plate glass timber sash and case windows on the northeast elevation, with some modern glazing to the southwest and southeast elevations. Rooflights are also present. The roof is covered in grey slate, with stone skews, a ridge stack, and a pair of wallhead stacks to the northwest, topped with polygonal cans.

The walled garden is rectangular, approximately 1200 square meters in area, and features interior buttresses and semi-circular arched openings, along with timber doors. The steading incorporates a curved stone implement shed with brick pillars. There are nine bays to a range opposite the shed, with an elliptical arch forming the entrance to further ranges at the rear. Gabled loading bays are positioned to the outer left and right; three square ground-floor entrances are spaced along, with small square openings in between, and a single door to the outer right and centre. A small window is located at first floor level. A two-storey range extends to the rear of the walled garden, with further smaller ranges to the southwest.

A separate L-plan farm cottage, constructed of whinstone with brick quoins, has a timber entrance door with a letterbox fanlight. A single window is located to the left at ground level, and single windows are present at ground and first floors in the gabled bay to the outer right. The cottage is roofed with grey slate and has brick stacks with circular cans. The interior of the farmhouse was not inspected in 1999. The property is enclosed by rubble boundary walls, which incorporate circular-plan gatepiers with gently domed tops.
