Description
This is a farmsteading, likely dating to the early to earlier 19th century, with subsequent alterations. The composition is near-symmetrical, consisting of a two-story, seven-bay, rectangular block arranged around a courtyard, topped by a gabled dovecote above the central entrance. The central block is constructed from coursed and droved pink sandstone, while the flanking wings utilize coursed and tooled pink sandstone rubble at the rear, with sandstone ashlar dressings throughout. Moulded eaves are present in some areas; droved quoins and long and short surrounds feature around openings, along with projecting cills.
The west-facing elevation is dominated by a taller, slightly projecting central bay containing a large, full-height round-arched pend opening. Above this pend is a blank rectangular panel where the eaves break, surmounted by a dovecote in the gablehead, complete with flight holes and a projecting ledge within a rectangular panel. To the left of the central bay is a three-bay wing with a large boarded timber door at ground level to the extreme left, and blind windows in the remaining bays. The ground floor of the right-hand three-bay wing is also characterized by blind windows. The first floor of both wings features squat, blind windows on the left and irregularly spaced ventilated windows on the right.
The east-facing courtyard elevation mirrors the west, with a tall, projecting central bay containing a large round-arched opening at ground level and a ventilated window above. The gablehead here also features the dovecote with flight holes and projecting ledge. The left wing has a boarded timber door to the right at ground level, with further boarded timber doors in two bays to the left. Squat, ventilated windows are aligned on the first floor. A blocked boarded timber door, formerly within a depressed-arched opening, is located on the outer left. The right wing features a boarded timber door to the left at ground level, with additional doors in two bays to the right; the first floor has ventilated windows, with two bays offset to the left. A lower block projecting to the outer right connects the west and north ranges; its south elevation includes a boarded timber door, offset to the left of center, and a gabled window that breaks the eaves.
The windows are predominantly ventilated timber. A corrugated-iron pitched roof covers the later dovecote; coped skews are present, and the flanking wings have piended corrugated-iron roofs. Iron rainwater goods are fitted. The interior was not inspected in 1999.
