Scantle slate roofs with gable brick chimneys those to right (east) and wing (north) on external rubble stacks.

Two room and cross passage plan; stairs to back of passage and rear wing off centre right forming an unequal 'T'; left rear has outshut. Kitchen/living room right of passage; wing with unheated service room and beyond a back kitchen with fireplace; in right hand rear angle later lean-to. Photographic evidence shows this as a cob or rendered house sliding sash windows and glazing bars, thatched roof and large low granite stack right (also a rear wing); late C19 changes involved raising roof, refacing, casing and refenestration. Wing stack may be semi-circular on plan (late C18-early C19).

Two storeys. Symmetrical three window front with central entrance. The fine four-centred moulded and bar-stopped granite door frame with frond spandrels re-used late C19 from porch of Pengersick Castle (qv) with label stops reversed. The windows are mid C19 sixteen pane hornless sashes. Hornless sashes also to wing.
