Cob, stone plinth, plastered and roughcast, the house under gabled-end shingle roof, the barn under hipped corrugated-iron roof. Formerly a 3-room, through-passage plan with a rear parlour wing; the survival of 2 jointed crucks in the rear barn, one of them possibly smoke-blackened, suggests that the parlour wing accommodation formerly extended further back; a truncated jointed cruck in the lower end extension (now a garage and storage area) suggests that this building might once have been a barn or shippon. Axial stack with brick shaft backs onto passage and heats hall; right-hand end stack all ashlar, heats parlour. 2 storeys. Front: 4 window range; 2- and 3-light timber and metal casement windows to 1st floor, two 3-light casement windows to ground floor, all barred; wide planked door to passage, recessed.

Interior: chamfered arched door surrounds to rear passage doorway, and to entrance from passage into hall; winder stairs to rear of hall, also to parlour wing built into thickness of end stack wall. Hall and parlour with 3 axial beams, chamfered, with hollow step stops; fireplaces probably conceal older work; plank and muntin screen between hall and parlour, simply chamfered to hall, ovolo-moulded to parlour, the bressumer chamfered with run-out stops above each panel. Deep chamfered axial beam to wing. Roof: 2 jointed crucks, one cut off above collar; apex of complete truss side pegged and morticed, trenched purlins, cranked collars; smoke blackened. 2 jointed crucks to wing (roof space of wing not inspected); 2 jointed crucks, one with a single blade only surviving, visible in rear barn.
