Description
This is an early 19th-century farmhouse of a simple rectangular plan, alongside a range of listed outbuildings. The farmhouse is a two-storey building constructed of painted rubble. The front elevation has three bays, with a central doorway featuring a fanlight, now fitted with a modern glazed door. All windows are single-light sash and case windows with four panes of glass. The rear elevation features a single-storey flat-roofed porch and a bipartite window to the left, with other windows being single-light. It has a piended slate roof and tall coped end stacks with octagonal cans.
The outbuildings are a single-storey building with an attic, spanning five bays with symmetrical flanking bays. They are built of rubble with squared granite margins and quoins. The central section has three doors flanked by windows, all sash and case with twelve panes of glass. Single-storey end bays are situated on either side, the left with a sloped roof, the right with corrugated asbestos, and contain a vehicle entrance on the left and a single door on the right. The central part has coped end stacks and end skews. Only the range of outbuildings directly opposite the farmhouse is included in the listing.
