Description

This farmhouse, built around 1840, is a two-storey structure with a basement. It features red sandstone rubble that is squared and coursed on the north front, complemented by an ashlar band and cill course.

On the north elevation, there are three widely spaced bays. At the center, there is a rectangular porch made of droved ashlar, which has a cornice and blocking course that projects outward. The porch includes a round-arched doorway with a chamfered reveal and a short flight of stone steps that are flanked by a heavy painted stone balustrade. Behind the porch is a round-arched vestibule doorway with a fanlight and a panelled door, although the upper panels are now glazed. Above this, there is a window on the first floor and additional windows in the flanking bays.

The south elevation has two stair windows at the center, along with windows on each floor of the flanking bays and a further small window. The east and west elevations each consist of two bays that are set out of line, with windows in each bay on both floors, although the first-floor windows are blind. There is a basement door on the east elevation.

The farmhouse showcases a variety of glazing patterns, with 12-pane windows predominating in sash and case form. It has a grey slate piend roof and moulded coping on the end stacks.
