Farmhouse, now house. Circa mid C17, with additions and alterations of C18 and C19, some C20 alterations. Granite and slatestone rubble. Slate roof with ridge tiles and gable ends. Gable end stacks with rendered shafts, the stack to left with shaped top. Plan: originally a 2-room plan house, with the lower end room to right, heated from a gable end stack. This would have been a hall/kitchen. There was originally a lobby entrance, and the parlour to end left, heated from a gable end stack. Probably in C19, this arrangement was altered so that the parlour was reduced in size and a straight stair inserted along the right side of the parlour ; the entrance now leads directly to the stair. There is a single storey unheated outshut to rear centre, possibly pre-dated the insertion of the stair, entered from a door at the rear of the hall/kitchen. Probably later in the C19, a shippon and stable was added to the lower right end, of 2-storeys, the upper storey now incorporated as part of the house. Attached to the upper left end in the C19, a small barn ; this was originally adjacent to the house, and has been joined to the house by an infill which contains a pigeon loft. Exterior: Long range ; the original house has a 2-storey asymmetrical 2-window front ; all windows are C20 casements. The parlour to left has a projecting bay, with a shallow porch set in the angle to right. The parlour bay has a window at ground floor, with raking dormer above. Porch has a half-glazed C20 door, open-fronted, with pitched roof. The lower end to right has 3-light window at ground floor and 2- light window at first floor. At the left end, the barn has 3 doors at ground floor, the central one blocked, with granite lintels ; first floor loading door with pitched hood and small opening to right.
