Farmhouse, now house. Dated 1676 on fireplace, possibly of earlier origin, and with alterations probably of C19 to front, substantially altered and enlarged late C20. Granite rubble with granite dressings, C20 slate roofs with gable ends and gable end stacks in granite ashlar, rear wing heated by stack formerly at gable end on slope of roof. The plan has been substantially altered; the front range is of 2-room plan, originally with central passage and each room heated by gable end stack. To rear fright, a single storey wing heated by end stack, of 1 room plan; this has been enlarged in late C20 to form a wide gable-ended wing of 1½ storeys. There is an outshut at the left gable end of front range, single storey, with pigeonloft; possibly of late C17/early C18. 2 storeys; single storey porch in course of construction at time of survey, incorporating outer doorway of granite, with 4-centred arch, hollow-chamfered, inner C20 glazed door. The bay to left appears to have been extended forwards, and eaves level raised in C20, with 20-pane sash at ground floor and 6-pane sash at first floor under eaves. To right, ground floor 6-pane sash with granite lintel and jambs, small 2-light casement under eaves above porch and 12-pane sash at first floor right. Right gable end has external stack with cornice, left gable end has stack with slate weathering.

The right gable end has C20 window at ground floor left, 12-pane sash at first floor right. The rear wing, to right, projects slightly from gable end and has granite quoins, 1 pitch only remaining from original roof, with rag slates remaining. The C20 alterations have considerably widened the wing, and the stack, formerly nearly central, is now below the ridge to the left. Single storey, with C20 French window. Gable end stack in rubble, with curved oven at base, C20 window to right and doorway to left of stack with granite lintel. The C20 addition extends to right, with 2 windows and half-glazed door.
