Description

This is a farmhouse built around 1857, with later alterations. It is a two-storey, three-bay, square-plan farmhouse that features a centrally located lean-to entrance porch on the ground floor, a piended roof, and twin stacks. To the east of the farmhouse, there are two single-storey, two-bay adjoined cottages. To the southwest, there is a row of six similar farm cottages, known as 'Hill Street', with the southernmost pair being roofless. The majority of the structures are constructed from harl-pointed random rubble.

On the south (principal) elevation of the farmhouse, there is a window in the lean-to porch at ground level in the central bay, with a boarded door on the right side and a window above on the first floor. Each of the flanking bays has a window on both floors. The north (rear) elevation has a window in each bay on both floors. The west (side) elevation features a window at ground level on the outer left, while the rest of the elevation is blank. The east (side) elevation is two-bay with a window in each bay on both floors.

The windows are timber sash and case, with four and twelve panes, and some are externally double glazed. The farmhouse has a grey slate piended roof with a stone ridge, while the porch is covered in corrugated iron. The twin stacks are corniced rubble, and the rainwater goods are predominantly cast iron.

Inside, there is a central stair with decorative cast-iron balusters and a timber handrail, though the remainder of the interior was not fully seen in 1998.

The pair of cottages to the east has a north (entrance) elevation featuring a centred lean-to entrance porch that spans the central bays, with boarded doors on either side. The west cottage has a window in the central bay, while the east cottage has a window on the outer left. The south (rear) elevation has a central blocked doorway with a window in each bay flanking both cottages.

These cottages have various timber-framed windows and a traditional graded stone tiled roof with a stone ridge and stone skews. The gablehead stacks on the east and west sides are made of rubble and corniced, with a similar central ridge stack. The rainwater goods are predominantly cast iron.

The row of cottages to the southwest, known as 'Hill Street', forms a small terrace, with the southernmost two being roofless. Each cottage has a central boarded door with a window in each bay flanking it. The cottages have a grey slate roof and rubble corniced gablehead and ridge stacks. The interiors of these cottages were not seen in 1998.
