Grouted scantle slate roofs with gable ends except for dairy which has hipped end.

diary adjoining the rear right-hand corner of the rear wing and a flower-bunching

C18 rebuilt fireplace in left-hand room and probably C17 parlour fireplace in right-

hand side (possibly a former fireplace lintel where it adjoined a window bay) 4-panel
door, C20 16-pane horned sashes.
Left-hand wall of rear wing has wide window opening to ground floor with slightly
cambered granite arch with projecting keystones.

remodelled fireplace in the left-hand room with domed oven and chamfered lintel, and
an enormous fireplace of uncertain date in the rear wing. Other features include a
2-panel door and a resited C18 arch carried on consoles.
