Farmhouse and barn, now museum and exhibition area, forming part of an outdoor centre for disabled people. Probably early C18 with late C18 barn and extensive late C18 alterations; renovated by the Calvert Trust in 1980. Mixed rubble, mostly slate boulders and some hand-made bricks, with flush split slate quoins and small galleting pieces. Graduated greenslate roofs with rendered chimney stacks. Two storeys, three bays, formerly U-shaped but centre now filled; lower bank barn to right, of 11 bays with byres underneath. House has two C20 doors in plain openings. Sash windows with glazing bars in plain reveals. Side top-glazed door within gabled porch. Barn has excavated passage at front, the two cart doorways, flanking a pent extension, reached by slab bridges over the passage. Floors inside barn are 1980 and on one level, including kitchen and toilet facilities. Further extension to barn with C20 windows is not of interest. Listed for its associations with the Calvert family and their literary guests including Wordsworth, Southey and Coleridge.
