Originally a 3-room, through-passage plan house, the higher end to the left of the passage; the service end has been extended, probably in the C19. The hall is heated by an axial stack at the higher end, but as this room was not examined it was impossible to confirm whether or not this is the original position.

Exterior Front: the early house is 4 window range; first floor with C19 3-light casement windows; ground floor: 4-light C20 casement window to hall; 3-light windows to service end and inner room.
