Description
This is a late 18th-century two-storey farmhouse, originally aligned east to west, and later extended in the 19th century. The farmhouse was expanded to a double pile to the south, and further wings were added to the north and east. The exterior is of random rubble with grey ashlar dressings; the east elevation has been rendered and lined.
The south elevation has three bays and displays three tall windows on the ground floor and three smaller windows above. An entrance is provided through a recessed single-storey wing attached to the east gable, which includes an attic. The porch has a cornice and blocking course, a door with a strip fanlight, and two small lancet windows on its return. A canted dormer with a polygonal roof sits above.
The west elevation reveals the gable ends of the two build phases, joined together. A large, canted tripartite window with a cornice and blocking course is located to the left at ground level, with a single window to the right at ground level. Above, there are three smaller windows. A lower wing with a catslide roof extends to the north, featuring a doorway with two windows to the right at ground level, and a single window above to the attic.
The windows are sash and case, with varied glazing patterns. The roof is covered in grey slates with straight skews, and has ashlar-coped end stacks.
The listing excludes the detached outbuildings to the east drive and the scheduled monument SM5465 (St John's Chapel).
