They are linked by the initials on each; WSB and WB on the earlier, WB on the later. Coursed rubble with stone tiled roof. Main range is of two storeys, and two bays with central door in shallow arched stone chamfered architrave with hoodmould. Ovolo moulded stone mullioned windows to each side. There is a coped gabled wing to the right, with staircase projection in the angle. Newer additions against its end wall incorporate the earlier date stone. The rear of the house has four renewed ground floor windows, and above, one window has plain chamfered stone surround, and another is ovolo moulded. The later date stone is on the rear wall, and there is a sundial to the right. West gable contains evidence of heightening of the roof, perhaps in 1694, and is buttressed at ground floor level, the first floor window has a hoodmould with dropped ends, and remains of ovolo moulded mullions. In the attic, a chamfered hoodmould also with dropped ends has been cut by a newer window and below it is a length of sill course. Coped gables. Gable and axial stacks. Inside, two inglenooks and a domed bread oven alongside one of them.
