House, formerly a farmhouse. Probably a late C17 remodelling of an earlier house and with C19 alterations. colourwashed stone rubble. Slate roof with gabled ends. Gable end and rear lateral stacks with later rendered shafts. Plan: 3 room plan with the entrance probably originally into a through passage between the left hand and centre rooms. The left hand room was probably the parlour, its gable end stack may replace a projecting lateral stack at the back; alternatively the projection at the rear may have contained a newel stair. The central room to the right of the passage probably the hall/kitchen has a lateral stack at the back with an integral stair turret at perhaps a smoking chamber. The small room at the right end has a gable end stack. This small room may have originally been the inner room of a traditional 3-room and through passage plan re-orientated the lower left end room becoming the parlour. There is now a doorway giving direct access into the right hand 'inner' room through a C19 porch at the front. there is an outshut at the right end and a small late C20 outshut behind the left hand end room. Exterior: storeys. Asymmetrical 4-window range. 2 and 3-light casements mostly C20. the 2 first floor 3-light casements to the right are C19 and there is a small single light late C18 or early C19 window with leaded panes to the right of the left hand doorway. Most of the windows have slate cills. the doorway to the left of centre has a C20 porch with a hipped slate roof. At the right hand end of the front a larger C19 hipped- roof lean-to porch/outshut. Rear elevation: to the left a slightly projecting gable, its left half projecting a little more and having a 2 light casement. Over the gable there is the rendered shaft of the stack. A small casement under the eaves to the left of centre. to the right of centre a projection which may be a truncated lateral stack or a stair turret, to the right of which is a small C20 outshut. Interior: Only the centre room (hall) and the right hand room were briefly inspected. The hall has roughly chamfered cross-beams with run-out stops and a rear lateral fireplace with a timber lintel chamfered with run-out stops and stone rubble jambs. Roof: The roof structure was not inspected.
