Farmhouse, now house. C17, altered and enlarged in C18 and C20. Coursed sandstone rubble with quoins, with some handmade brick in gable; slate roof with brick chimney. Two-bay baffle-entry plan with a projecting porch-cum-stair-turret at the junction, an added wing to the rear of the 1st bay and a C20 extension to the 2nd bay. Two low storeys and now 1:1:3 windows at 1st floor. The porch, under a carried-down roof, has a segmental-headed doorway with chamfered surround, and a small 2-light stair-window to the left and above. To the left the 1st bay has one window on each floor, and to the right the extended 2nd bay has one window at ground floor and 3 above, and all these windows are 2-light casements with raised sills and rectangular lintels. Ridge chimney at the junction of the bays. The left gable wall, which has been raised in brick, has horizontal sliding sash windows of 3 lights at ground floor and 2 lights above, both with sills and lintels like those at the front but that at ground floor with the returned ends of a former hoodmould flanking the lintel. The one-bay rear wing has a gable chimney; and beyond that, a C20 extension. INTERIOR: the 1st bay has a former inglenook with an unchamfered bressummer and remains of a former firewindow (now concealed); and a lateral beam with quarter-round moulding and stops buried in the masonry of the front and rear walls (suggesting former timber-framed construction); the 2nd bay has a triangular-headed fireplace with massive stone lintel (probably ex situ); the rear wing has 2 longitudinal beams supported at the further ends on moulded stone corbels, one chamfered with run-out stops and the other chamfered and scarf-jointed near the end.
