Farmhouse. C15 core, extensively enlarged during C17 with further C19
alterations, restored during 1983/84. Timber-framed on sandstone rubble
plinth; coursed sandstone rubble facade with later brick dressings, C20
weatherboard cladding to rear; tiled roofs. Formerly rectangular plan,
now L-plan with north-west corner of house demolished during restoration;

wing aligned north/south and to north side of main block aligned east/
west. Two storeys. South front: string course and weatherboarded gable
end of wing to right; five cross casement windows. Central 6-panelled
door. Interior: restored to reveal roof of C15 great chamber; three bays;
main tie-beam trusses and intermediate open arch-braced trusses, chamfered

wind-braces. Ornamental framing in east wall with cusped bracing within

has lowered the floor in this room to reveal the stops. The C15 wing may
have been re-erected on this site and may once have formed part of a larger

to this side; no trace of smoke blackening on timbers.
