For Elizabeth Hutton of Marske-in-Swaledale who married into the Blackburn family. Rubble with crude quoins, stone slate roof. Cross-wing thought to be medieval with main range of 1635 at right angles to right, giving L-shaped plan. Outshut in angle contains stairs. 3 storeys.

Kneeler and ashlar coping on right. 2 ridge stacks, at left end and centre, the latter inscribed '--1635'. Front gable end of cross-wing has a 3-light window on each floor and chimney on apex.
