Description
A late 18th-century farmhouse, built symmetrically. The farmhouse is constructed of painted granite rubble with polished stone margins. The main elevation has three bays and two storeys, with flanking wings; the wing to the right is single-storey, and the wing to the left has an attic. A single, pedimented porch with a fanlight shelters the front door, although the door itself is modern. All windows are single-light, with plate-glass sashes, although the upper windows have been fitted with out-of-character modern aluminium framing. The building has slate roofs with flat skews, and corniced axial stacks. The wing to the left incorporates a byre and a loft above.
The farmhouse sits on raised ground, supported by a coped rubble retaining wall which carries cast-iron railings. A pair of coped, rusticated gatepiers support wrought-iron gates.
