Farmhouse. Mainly late C17 but probably incorporating parts of a late C16 building. Red brick (mixed and Flemish bonds), possibly replacing timber frame on rendered sandstone rubble plinth. Stone angle quoins, partly cement- rendered, to right and slate roof. Apparently originally a hall and cross- wing plan with hall range aligned north-east to south-west and cross-wing projecting to left.

Right part (former hall range) has roughly central early C20 panelled door under C20 gabled porch with unevenly spaced multi-paned C19 cast-iron casements to left and right, those to ground floor segmental headed and those to first floor directly below eaves. Similar C19 casement with wooden lintel to lean-to to left with boarded door to far left. Integral end stack in front of ridge directly above. Lean-to bread oven projection to left with cast-iron sink attached to front. External end stack to right of main range has stone angle quoins; infilled segmental- headed window to attic. 2 catslide outshuts to left and right to rear and external lateral stack to left of centre with upper stage corbelled out to right and tall rebuilt shaft. Corbelling to left visible internally showing that left outshut must be later addition. Left outshut has stone quoins to right corner with infilled 2-light chamfered wooden mullion window to centre and infilled window to plinth. Interior. Deep-chamfered cross-beam ceiling and heavy chamfered joists, both with straight-cut stops, to left ground- floor room including to front lean-to. Inglenook fireplace to left with chamfered wooden lintel. Oak winder staircase to rear right corner of outshut has timber frame exposed in wall to left. Centre and right rooms have deep- chamfered ceiling beams and partly infilled inglenook fireplace with chamfered wooden lintel to back wall. C17 rectangular oak panelling to right wall of centre room said to have been brought from elsewhere. Hall has panelled board to back wall with painted heraldic emblems. Apparently truncated wall post or cruck blade concealed by wall paper to left and another in correspond- ing position to first floor. First floor has timber frame fragmentarily exposed throughout to cross walls: square panels and close studding with segmental-headed doorway to spine wall in left room. Wide boarded oak floor boards.
