Farmhouse. C17, considerably altered in the C19 with C19 addition. Stone rubble
walls, partially rendered, slate hung at the front. Gable ended slate roof. 2
rubble gable end stacks with brick shafts. Rendered rubble rear lateral stack.
Original plan obscured by later alterations, likely originally to have been 2-room
and through-passage with both rooms heated by gable end stack. Probably in mid C19
heated rear kitchen wing added behind right-hand and passage enlarged at right-hand
side to former larger stair hall. Outshut added probably in later C19 behind left-
hand room and parallel to rear wing.
2 storeys. Regular 3-window front, openings disposed to the left. First floor
left-hand window is early C19 16-pane hornless sash, others are similar but with
horns, probably C20 facsimiles. 1st floor centre window has 12-panes. At centre on
ground floor is gabled porch probably C19 re-using C17 segmental-headed chamfered
granite doorway. Probably early C20 11-panelled door behind. Outshut at rear of
left-hand room re-uses a single light moulded granite framed window. Rear wing
adjoins to the left with outshut abutting it to the left. At right-hand gable end of
house on ground floor is single square-headed granite-framed light probably
restored.
Interior: the 2 gable end fireplaces are granite framed but probably reconstructed,
from undressed pieces of stone.
