Farmhouse, now used for holiday accommodation. Early C19, but possibly some earlier
fabric concealed, extended at left end in late C19. Unrendered stone rubble with
brick and stone dressings. Bitumenized slate roof with gable end and ridge brick
stacks.
2-room and central staircase plan with gable-ended 2-storey service range attached
to rear and added bay of 1-room plan with integral rear outshut at left end. A
straight joint immediately to the right of the porch suggests the main range is of 2
phases, the left-hand side possibly containing earlier fabric, but the C19
remodelling has obscured any earlier detail.
2 storeys. 4-window range. Early C20 fenestration, 2-light casements, 6 panes per
light to upper storey, 3-light casements to ground floor, 8 panes per light to left
of porch, 6 panes per light to left of porch, 6 panes per light to right. Cambered
brick lintels except to ground floor left-hand window which has stone voussoirs with
drip above, and to upper storey windows to right of porch which have timber lintels.
Slated gabled roof to stoney rubble porch with pointed arched doorway and C19 6-
panelled inner door, the upper 2 panels glazed.
Some C19 joinery survives including staircase, plank doors and fireplace
mantleshelves to principal rooms.
