Description

Farmhouse, 2 unit 1½ storey with attached cowhouse to the lower end. Gable end chimneys, whitewashed rubble stone, and tin roof over thatch. Offset door with 4-panel door, central 4-pane sash window, taller casement window to right set higher. Blocked door with projecting hood to left (original entrance). Right gable, raised, with 9-light sash to the ground floor offset to right, off-centre casement window above. Lean-to at rear, roofless. Cowhouse attached to left, 3 doors to ground floor and central upper pitching door, all with plain boarded doors. Gable raised.

Central entrance with timber stair dividing the interior into kitchen to the left and smaller parlour to the right. Originally with entrance directly onto the fireplace with adjacent connecting doorway to cowhouse, both now blocked with doorway blocking not full depth and with inbuilt shelves. Large fireplace with range, brackets for drying rack, gable stair to the right of the fireplace, now partially infilled and converted into cupboard. Doorway inserted through rear wall to lean-to. Parlour with cast iron fireplace and recessed cupboard in gable wall.

The upper floor is divided into 2 rooms with a rough partition on the line of the right hand roof truss. Larger bedroom above the kitchen with substantial stepped chimney stack, smaller room above the parlour with small fireplace. Rough trusses roughly worked with pegged joints, mid level collars and squared purlins. Thatch visible on closely spaced wide riven rafters, with woven probably hazel substructure possibly with a gorse under-thatch between the ridge and upper purlin.

Lean-to derelict but retains slate slab benches and evidence of stone slate roofing.
