Stone rubble axial stack with granite quoins. Shaft removed from front lateral stack. Plan: Original plan uncertain. The house has been divided into two and was restored in the mid C20. The house is built down the slope with the ground rising to right and probably had a 3-room and through passage plan, the right hand house now comprising the hall, heated by an axial stack backing onto the passage and unheated inner room. There is a C17 1-room plan wing on the front of the lower side of the hall, the original purpose of this wing uncertain. The left hand house is probably the lower end, originally heated by a front lateral stack, and passage, the partition on the lower side removed. There is a circa C19 outshut extension across the front of the lower end. Exterior: Two storeys. Asymmetrical 1:2 window front with ground rising to right. Higher roof above hall and inner room and 2-storey gabled projection near centre. Circa C19 single storey outshut extension across front left with C20 window and C20 door. C20 2-light casements on ground and first floor of gabled central wing.

Interior: Right hand house has closely set large roughly chamfered floor joists in the hall and projection to front of the hall. The timber fireplace lintel is chamfered. The roof structure was not accessible. Potters Cottage has roughly cut slighter floor joists and the fireplace has been covered over.
