Description

A multi-purpose farm building of coursed and roughly dressed stone, with stepped roof line and coped gables, which retains traditional graded slates on the N slope facing the farmyard and uniform slates to the S slope. It has 3 main components, a former house in the centre, an E section under a higher roof, and a longer W section at the downhill end under the same roof as the former house. The former house faces the farmyard to the N. It has a boarded door to the R, to the L of which is a 3-light steel-framed casement window inserted into a wider (and not domestic) stone segmental-headed arch. Above it is a small upper-storey window widened to make a near oval opening like a pitching eye. On the R side of the house are external stone steps to a boarded loft door. Vertical joints to the R and L distinguish the house from the 2 later additions, and to the L end is a tall stone stack. At the downhill (W) end are 2 segmental-headed openings, 2 rounded pitching eyes under lintels and a loft door to the R. In the downhill gable end is a cast-iron overshot waterwheel with timber launder. The uphill end (E) is obscured by a modern hay store on the N side, but in the uphill gable end is a loft doorway, and to the rear is a segmental-headed doorway with ventilation strips to its L. The rear of the original house has a single lintelled opening in the lower storey, and is distinguished from the W and E ranges by vertical joints. The lower section has loft loading doors to the centre and L end.

The house retains its fireplace, with stop-chamfered timber lintel. The winding fireplace stair and cross beams are later.
