Farmhouse with attached barn, now all one dwelling. Probably C16 or early C17, extended at an early date; altered, and recently renovated. Large roughly-coursed sandstone rubble with quoins, stone slate roof. L-shaped plan formed by a single-depth 2-unit main range on an east-west axis facing south, with a 1-unit addition at the west end and a large outshut added to the rear of this; and the former barn continued to the east. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and now 6 windows to the whole range, with a quoined vertical joint and a large chimney between the 1st and 2nd, and a ragged vertical joint between the 2nd and 3rd. The ground floor has a gabled porch below the quoined joint, flanked by wide oblong windows with chamfered oak mullions (recently restored): that to the left, with a stone lintel, has a transom with 5 rectangular lights below and 4 square lights above; that to the right is shallower, with 4 lights (the 1st a casement) and an old oak lintel; and to the right of this window is a large blocked doorway. Above these windows the 1st floor has two 12-pane sashes, that to the left flanked by the quoined jambs of a former large oblong window (wider than the window below it). To the right the 3rd bay has one square window at ground floor and 2 above. Two large chimneys: a very wide and deep external stack at the west gable, with 5 steps, and a large square chimney on the ridge at the junction of the 1st and 2nd bays, with stone slate bands (terminating a large extruded stack which was formerly external but is now visible inside). The former barn to the right now has a garage doorway and renewed windows on both floors. Rear: very deep outshut under catslide roof; some renewed windows and some inserted slit-windows. INTERIOR: very thick stone lateral partition wall between 1st and 2nd bays, with extruded chimney stack on west side. West bay has lateral beam and renewed joists (arched fireplace recently rebuilt).

Dog-legged stone staircase off rear corner 1st bay. Chamber over parlour has arched fireplace with splayed reveal and rubble voussoirs, and exposed tie-beam in east wall made from re-used purlin of former timber-framed building (probably cruck).
