Scantle slate and concrete tile roofs with gable ends,. C17 rubble stack at former
rear gable of left hand front wing, otherwise axial brick stacks.

rear wing right at right angles to the main range has C17 moulded doorways and some
incomplete mullioned windows. Resited round-arched head of doorway at front (north)
of main range. The left-hand side of the main range was remodelled as a coach-house
in the C19 (remains of robust C18 ceiling cornice inside at the time of survey,
1986). Clock and bellcote over middle of the main range.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Overall irregular 6-window north house front with doorway left
of middle. Outshut projection left and cross wing, right. Mostly circa early C19

survey).
Interior: mostly C19 or C20 carpentry and joinery. Lap-dovetailed collars to the
possibly C18 roof structure over the main range. 2 large fireplace and evidence for
rear lateral fireplace, left of middle.
This farmhouse may be the remains of or built on the site of buildings formerly
