The original house, facing NE, is single-storey with attic, with small 2-storey cross-wing (the storeyed C17 porch) to R, partly in front of the N unit. When inspected in 2005, it retained some timber-framing with lath infill to front (rendered over), and a plinth; rubble stone rear and gable end walls, and graded slate roof. Within the original main range, to the rear of the porch wing is a stone stack with 2 diagonally set shafts. Other detail noted on inspection in 2005 included entrance to central unit with boarded door with 2 small lights above; 3 x 2-light casement windows to the left, of irregular size with iron or wooden glazing; blocked window to upper storey in SE gable end; 2 x 2-light wooden windows in rear elevation, that to L with dripstone. The porch wing has stone stack to gable end, blocked ground floor doorway, and 2 small wooden windows to the 1st floor; single window to R-return. The C18 range facing NW, is 2-storey and 3-window, constructed of random stone under a slate roof with stone stack to R. The front incorporates the NW gable end of the earlier house to the L bay, and the L-hand return contains a tall, blocked opening. Central entrance with open gabled wooden porch with decorated barge boards, inside which is a panelled door. Detail includes segmental brick heads to openings, and 12-pane hornless sash windows; the lower L window has a slate-hung lintel. The windows to R are lower as the ground falls in this direction. Lean-to service range to rear with stone corner stack and wide window.

In the original range, the hall retains a surviving cruck truss and two lateral ceiling beams, one originally supported by an ovolo-moulded post (no longer in situ). C17 parlour has ceiling with 2 deeply chamfered cross-beams with lambs-tongue stops, and similar joists. To the R is a large fireplace, with elaborate plaster overmantel; flanking wooden settles were noted on inspection in 2005; a doorway on its L side leads into the cross-wing (not seen). On the upper side of the hall is a timber-framed partition to 2 unheated inner rooms (probably originally a single room), with deeply chamfered spine beams; the larger one to the E was a dairy with salting slab; the foot of a 2nd cruck is visible in front of the end wall. Some of the partition panels retain wattle infill.

The C18 wing has central dog-leg stair with vase shaped newel and ramped handrail. Parlour to right of entrance with lugged fireplace and six-panelled door. Principal bedroom over the parlour with dentilled fireplace with smaller room over the entrance.
