Farmhouse with attached barn converted to a dwelling at an early date; all unoccupied and now used as store and stock shelter. Probably late C17, extended in C18, altered and recently restored externally. Roughly coursed sandstone rubble with quoins, stone slate roof. Single-depth 2-unit plan on east-west axis facing north, with a further 2 units at the east end.

The ground floor of the main range has a wide gabled porch in the centre, with an outer doorway which has a segmentally undercut monolith lintel with a stone slate hoodmould, and a segmental-headed inner doorway with a pegged double-layer door; chamfered stone mullion windows of 2 and 3 lights to the left (the former being the fire-window), with linked stone slate hoodmoulds, a similar 3-light window to the right and a segmental-headed 1-light window to the right of that, with a moulded surround, also with linked hoodmoulds. The upper floor has 3 similar 2-light mullioned windows and a similar segmental-headed 1-light window above the other. Corbelled gable chimney to right, flanked by very small attic windows; square ridge chimney at junction to left. The range continued to the left has a plain doorway offset right, a square 4-pane fixed window to the right of this, with a monolith lintel, another square window to the left, and traces of a former oblong window above the doorway. Its east gable wall has rubble voussoirs of a former wide segmental-headed doorway (perhaps a former wagon doorway); and the corbels of a former chimney. Rear: the main range has one small square window at 1st floor of the 2nd bay, and the converted range has a doorway and a window. INTERIOR: (A) Main range has stone partition wall to right of doorway, to ground floor only; housepart to left has 2 axial beams with scored joists, large bressumer beam approx. 2m from east wall, C18 rectangular fireplace with C19 iron range, doorway to right of fireplace with steps up to eastern portion, and traces of former staircase mounting rear wall from east to west; upper floor and fireplace removed from west bay; 1st floor apparently unpartitioned, with white-washed walls and ceiling in portion over housepart (children's mural paintings on east wall); 2 principal rafter trusses. (B) Eastern portion has housepart in 2nd bay containing late C18 rectangular fireplace with ogee-arched sooker-stone, built-in cupboard in rear wall (lacking door), bacon hooks and 2 pairs of iron ceiling racks (near front and rear walls); axial partition to 1st bay, but corbelled chimney visible above partition; principal rafter roof truss.
