In about the late C18 or early in the C19 a large outshut was added to the back of the kitchen and a barn was built at the left [W] end. The porch was added in about the C19 and a single-storey extension was built on the right [E] side in the C20. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and attic. Symmetrical 2-bay gabled south front, the gables with small gableted apex coping stones; ground and first floor C20 6-pane sashes in segmental arch headed openings, two smaller 2-light casements to attics in gables with small blocked openings in apex above.

Rear [N], two gables with small blocked openings in apexes, which have gableted coping stones; 2-light casements and large single-storey lean-to outshut on left. In circa late C18 or early C19 a stone rubble barn was added to the west side. INTERIOR: The kitchen has a stone flag floor, a chamfered cross-beam with cyma stops and a large fireplace with an ovolo-moulded bressumer with run-out stops, blocked with an early C20 range. The parlour on the left [W] has a square-section cross-beam and a C20 fireplace. C20 straight stairs. Two first floor rooms have chamfered cross-beams with cyma stops and plank doors.
