Cottage and adjoining mill converted into house. Circa early to mid C17, extended possibly in C18 and mill built in C19. Repaired and partly rebuilt in late C20. Rendered cob. Dry slate roof with gabled ends, higher level roof on right. Axial and gable end stacks with short brick shafts.

Plan and development: the original house has a two-room plan with a central axial stack with an entrance lobby in front and a staircase against the stack at the back. At the left end a narrow unheated room was added later, and in the C19 a mill was built at the extreme left end. The mill has been extensively rebuilt and converted to extend the house accommodation.

Interior: The main left hand room of the original fireplace has exposed ceiling beams and a large open fireplace. There are two jointed cruck trusses, the left is a closed truss forming a partition with a chamfered door frame on the first floor.
