Random rubble; diminishing slate roof (large C19 slates to house, re-used smaller slates to barn), sandstone ridge. 2 storeys. 2-unit, through - panage house with a later C17 rear outshut that contains the stairs. House: regular 3-window range, all windows with small-paned part- opening casements, those to the 1st floor with timber lintels, those to the ground floor (and including doorway) with rough stone cambered arches. Planked door. End stacks. Right return plain with a low buttress (added). Rear of house with outshut that does not extend the full length of the house, under catslide roof with 2 late - C17 oak mullioned windows. The outshut partly blocks one of the original rear windows of the house. Vertical masonry points between house and barn; latter with 2 doorways under flat lintels and a wagon entrance under cambered arch, and 2 slit ventilators to upper floor. Plain walling to rear (with single small opening).

Interior: Stone wall divides the 2 rooms at ground floor level. Right- hand room fireplace with sandstone surround and remains of C19 cast-iron grate and a complete rubble fire-hood (visible 1st floor); brick-lined bread-oven to right of fireplace, recessed open shelving to left.

The barn is understood to contain re-used crucks (possibly from an earlier house on the site).
