Farmhouse. Traces of earlier work, C17, C18, C19. Roughly squared, coursed stone, less well squared in later rebuild; stone slate roof. Two-room main wing, 1 1/2 storeys, 3-room cross wing, 2 1/2 storeys, with lean-to to part. Entrance front, facing farm buildings: windows plain chamfered, stone mullioned with hoodmoulds generally. Two 2-light windows, doorway with Tudor arch, sunk spandrels, deep stone lintel, hoodmould. To left plinth, 3-light window; wall sets forward for gable, boarded door up 2 stone steps, similar surround; 3-light window to left, further 3-light without hoodmould in lean-to. Above, 2 gabled dormers, 3-light windows, right-hand hollow chamfer; parapet gables with cross-gablet apices: between, below eaves, single- light stair window. Four-light window in cross wing, 2-light over to attics. Parapet gable right end, ashlar chimney on ridge, moulded caps; similar chimney to left first door, behind ridge. Parapet gable to cross wing, cross-gablet apex; gable on left return above lean-to with twin-flue chimney, moulded cap. Internally: main wing, former cross passage, hall to left, stone doorway surround, hollow chamfer to window to back; wide fireplace opening, Tudor arch, stone lintel, double ovolo jambs, small salt cupboard to left. Spiral stair to right entrance. Scratch-moulding panelling to cross wing wall; ceiling quartered by timber beams, heavy chamfer: moulded plaster cornice. Parlour to left, timber-framed internal walls, double-boarded outer door; stone fireplace surround dated 1582 said to have been moved from elsewhere, under heavy timber lintel. Wide chamfer to main ceiling beam; exposed chamfered joists. Similar chamfering to joists and beams in unheated central service room and room beyond, now kitchen. Stairs down to brick-vaulted cellar on left, part above ground, roof over vault. Appears to have had higher roof originally. C17 stone fireplace in room over main parlour. Queen- strut trusses to cross wings; floor to front attic raised to improve headroom in bedroom below (probably C19). Main wing reroofed in C19, but retains top of collar and king-strut truss against chimney, wattle and daub infill, smoke blackened on one side. This could be remains of earlier smoke bay. Right end main wing rebuilt, probably C18; at least part of lean-to is original, front wall being continuation of gable of cross wing (not as E. Mercer). (D.
