Description
A house ranging north/south and facing east, in axe-dressed uncoursed masonry with slight traces of limewash; a slate roof and tile ridge, with a stone mid-chimney just north of the entrance and an end-chimney at the south gable. The house is planned downslope to the south and its floor is on four levels although the roof is level; the change being evident also in the levels of the ground storey windows.
At front (east) the ground storey openings include a central door with modern light timber porch at the position of the original cross-passage. Below this, in the back-kitchen or possibly former byre section are are a door at left with a timber lintel and two modern windows with segmental arches. Above the door in the original domestic part are a single window and a door (recently formed at another former window position) at right both with segmental arches. Above there are five three-light small-pane upper windows of C19 type.
At rear there are modern windows and a stone-built rear extension with low-pitch lean-to roof.
A hall house converted to outside-cross-passage type, with one surviving cruck frame seen from first floor level up at the rear of the main chimney. At the upper end of the hall (last frame but one from north) there is a post-and-panel partition (its door originally at the west side, now at east).
At the south gable is a second chimney serving a large hearth below and a small chamber hearth above.
