Description
This is a possibly later 18th-century farmhouse, with later additions and alterations that have created an L-shaped plan, and a further single-storey range set at right angles to the rear. The original part of the farmhouse is a two-storey, three-bay structure, but appears five bays wide on the first floor. It is built of whitewashed rubble with painted dressings, sandstone mullions, and flush cills. The rear single-storey range is of harl-pointed sandstone rubble.
The south-east (entrance) elevation has a set of steps leading to a recessed, timber-panelled front door with a two-pane fanlight above. The door is framed by a corniced tripartite window arrangement with narrow sidelights, and a single window sits above. Tripartite windows are situated on the ground floor, flanking the centre, with narrower sidelights; the first floor has single windows in the remaining bays, with a painted imitation window in the penultimate bay to the outer right. To the outer right is a single-storey, seven-bay range with a recessed section containing a two-leaf boarded timber garage door, offset to the left of centre. Further single windows are located in the remaining two bays to the left, a boarded timber door is offset to the right of centre, flanked by single windows, and a row of six panes of glazing is present in bay to the outer right.
The south-west (side) elevation displays a small-paned door, offset to the left of centre, and a single window offset to the right on the first floor. A blind square attic opening is positioned to the right above. A three-bay wing is recessed to the left, featuring narrow windows on both floors in the bay to the right, and bipartite windows on both floors in the remaining bays to the left. There are single-storey additions to the outer left.
The north-east (side) elevation has painted imitation windows on both ground floor bays, a single window aligned at each first-floor bay, and a blind square attic opening offset to the right above. A two-storey wing is recessed to the right, and a single-storey range projects to the outer right.
The north-west (rear) elevation has a single window on both floors in the bay to the outer left, and a two-storey wing projecting to the right.
The windows are predominantly 12-pane, timber sash and case, with 4- and 8-pane glazing in the tripartite windows. Small, flush rooflights are also present. The roofs are grey slate, with stone coped skews and iron rainwater goods. Corniced and whitewashed apex stacks are situated on the southwest and northeast corners, a ridge stack at the rear, and various circular cans.
The interior was not inspected in 1998.
Plain iron railings enclose the garden to the front, and rubble-coped walls partially enclose the site. A stop-chamfered, square-plan coursed sandstone pier, with a pyramidal cap and a modern gate, is located to the right of the entrance.
