stone rubble walls with some granite dressings. Gable ended slate roof. 3 rubble
stacks, one at right-hand gable end, one axial and one stack at gable end of wing.
Plan: originally had 2 rooms plan possibly with central passage. The right-hand
room was heated by a gable end stack, the left-hand room by an axial stack. In the
later C17 a 1-room wing was added in front of the left-hand room heated by a gable
end stack. In the C19 a large dairy was built at the left end of the original
house. Some internal alterations were made when the house was modernised in the
C20.

room has a chamfered wooden lintel, with probably hollow step stops. The central -
room fireplace is more elaborate with an ovolo-moulded wooden lintel and roll-
moulded granite jambs. The fireplace in the wing is granite framed and roughly
chamfered. The roof trusses are straight principals and relatively recent.
