Description

The property consists of a farmhouse with an attached byre, a former bakehouse, a ruined stable, and a parallel wing. It dates to the 18th century and is situated on a sloping site. The main range faces south, with a lower byre on the east side, a lean-to bakehouse to the south of the byre, a ruined stable on the west side, and a parallel gabled wing on the north side. The construction is random rubble with slate roofs, although the byre roof is now a recent corrugated steel replacement. The main range has battered walls, and its slate roof has been recently renewed. There are two stone stacks: a larger one rebuilt in the 19th century on the east side and a smaller one added in the 19th century to the west.

The south front of the main range has a two-window arrangement, with openings offset to the left. The upper storey contains 19th-century two-light casement windows, whilst the lower storey contains horned sash windows beneath a concrete lintel on the left. The byre to the right is slightly set back and has a wide boarded door leading to a cross passage, sheltered by a late 19th-century lean-to canopy with a brick pier and slate roof. To the right of the canopy is a single-storey lean-to former bakehouse with a stone stack on the right side. The left side wall facing the cross passage has a boarded door on the right and an inserted casement window above. A window in the south wall is now boarded up and has a drip stone. The east gable end has an inserted doorway, now boarded up, and an inserted window above. The north side, facing the yard, has a boarded cross-passage door on the right, and to the left are three byre doorways beneath renewed lintels (central and left), with boarded stable doors fitted with strap hinges.

The north wing has a wide boarded door in the east gable end. The north front, with two windows, features two-light casements under segmental heads in the upper storey and boarded-up openings under similar heads in the lower storey. A tall flue is part of an external stack in the west gable end. A window to the original service room, renewed under a drip stone, is partially obscured by the wing on the north wall of the main house.

The west gable end of the house is cement-rendered, and includes a single-storey stable projection with a now-missing roof. On the north side, facing the yard, the stable has a doorway to the left, and the gable end has a loft opening with a drip stone.

The cross passage is said to be divided from the byre by a post-and-panel partition, and the house is reportedly retains ornate door heads, although the property was not inspected internally at the time of survey in November 1997.
