Farmhouse. Early C17, re-modelled and extended C18. Colourwashed limestone rubble with some brick dressings; timber framing; old plain-tile roof with brick stacks. Lobby-entry L-plan, extended. 2 storeys. 3-window main range has to right, a 2-window C17 section with central entrance and 2-light windows, 2 with horizontal-sliding sashes. The dentil eaves course may be contemporary with the late C18 bay to left, which also has brick quoins and a 16-pane ground-floor sash. Roof is hipped to left, and half hipped to right continuing over a rubble outshut. Clustered ridge stack in line with entrance. Rear wing returning from right has, at ground floor, a 4-light heavy-framed casement, and is timber framed at first floor with 2 Gothick casements. Later C18 range in angle has a hipped roof. Interior: large central stack has back-to-back fireplaces. Roofs to earlier range have clasped purlins and curved windbraces. Remnants of internal framing suggest that front range was probably re-modelled with stone walls in early C18.
