Longhouse. C16 or C17, possibly earlier, with entrance porch and wing of 1682; later lean-to in front of shippon. Older house-part covered with roughcast, shippon of exposed coursed granite rubble; additions of granite rubble. House part has tarred slated roof, except for the 1682 wing which has a thatched roof, half-hipped at the front. Shippon, half-hipped at the lower end, is covered with corrugated asbestos and the lean-to in front of it with corrugated iron. Old house part has a large granite ashlar chimneys tack with thatch weatherings and tapered top on centre of ridge (heating former hall). Small granite stack, probably of C19, on right-hand gable, 3-room and through-passage plan with hall stack backing on to passage; shippon occupies the room to left of passage. Entrance porch of 1682 has small room to right of it. 2 storeys. House part including the porch wing, is 3 windows wide; all windows have C19 wood casements with 2 or 3 panes per light. Right-hand ground storey window has the lintel of a 3-light stone-mullioned window. The windows in the wing have flat arches with roughly cut voussoirs. The porch doorway is of moulded granite with a round arch, the spandrels carved with the initials and date IS 1682. At rear of porch an old plank door with wrought-iron strap hinges. In the left wall of the porch is a slight projection containing a water trough cut from a single piece of granite; at its base is a small hole for an outlet pipe. The shippon has a small doorway with plain granite lintel and plank door, just to left of the porch. Its gable-end contains 3 ventilation slits at ground-storey level and a fourth at the top of the wall. Halfway up are 2 small openings resembling putlog holes. The lean-to in front of the shippon appears to have been a pigsty, probably of early C19, with 3 compartments separated internally by low walls composed of large, upright pieces of slate. Each compartment has a doorway with a plain granite lintel, 2 at the front and 1 at the right-hand side; each has a plank door with wrought-iron strap-hinges, and inside, on the floor, is a feeding trough cut from a single piece of granite. Garden wall in front of the house part is of large-scale granite rubble. Interior of house not inspected, but former hall appears to have a large open fireplace; at its upper end, facing the fireplace, is a long seat with a late C16 or early C17 panelled back. Shippon has old drain down the middle and feeding-trough stones along each long wall. Roof-timbers are C18 or early C19.
