Farmhouse, now house. Probably late C17 or early C18, with additions and alterations dated 1883 (over present front doorway) and 1835 (on added porch). Roughly-coursed mixed rubble, the earlier portion mostly blue ragstone, with sandstone quoins, stone slate roof. Formerly T-plan formed by single-depth two-unit main range on north-south axis, with broad gabled wing overlapping junction of bays on west side; enlarged in C19 by addition full-height outshut to north of this including added outbuilding at north end, and curved porch in angle to south.
EXTERIOR: two storeys and cellar, 3:2 windows to the west elevation, the three-window portion being the added outshut. This has a doorway abutting the junction with the wing (datestone above lintel lettered "J.N. 1883"), another doorway at the left end and three narrow windows on each floor between these. The gable of the wing has irregular fenestration: a square 15-pane fixed window offset left at ground floor, a 16-pane tilting casement stair-window slightly above to the right, a similar window at a higher level to the left and a 12-pane stair-window above the other one. In the angle to the right is a curved porch in free Gothic style, with a round-headed doorway, datestone lettered "T H / 1835", roll-moulded run-out imposts with small square windows over them, and a quarter-conical blue slate roof. Ridge chimney in line with wing, gable chimneys at both ends, that to the south extruded. Rear (east elevation), 2:3:2 windows, the two-window south bay slightly projecting, with quoins to both corners; rectangular windows with glazing bars (those at 1st floor of the south bay with smaller panes).
INTERIOR: housepart (present centre bay) has massive inglenook bressumer and muntin-and-plank heck, and similarly panelled partition to wing; plaster on other partitions on both floors may conceal similar panelling; narrow room partitioned off north end of housepart and furnished with stone shelving; wing contains pantry with stone shelving, and quarter-turn staircase with closed string, square newels and broad moulded handrail (some balusters missing, others replaced) which continues to attic level, where the top flight does not relate to the present arrangement of the roof, which has been altered.
