rubble with granite dressings. Asbestos slate roofs with gable ends, 2 lateral
brick chimneys over rear wall and external stone stack at right hand gable end.

stair hall in outshut at rear of former through passage and later service wing at
right angles behind the room to the right of the porch. There are now 4 rooms in
the single depth main front range; the two rooms left of the porch were probably
originally a large hall (now a kitchen and small parlour) and the two equal-sized
rooms right of the porch were probably both parlours.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Regular 3:1:4 bay north front: 2 storey porch left of middle
dated 1668 with coped gable end and with scrolled kneelers; moulded basket-arched
doorway; 3-light mullioned window over the doorway rising partly into the gable;
square hoodmoulds and Lanyon coat of arms over the doorway with motto: VIVE VT
VIVAS. The right-hand ground floor window opening has a flat arch with voussoirs.
There is 1 C18 sash with wide glazing bars in the 2nd from right first floor
opening, the other windows are circa early C19 sashes, all with 12 panes.
Interior: plain interior with earlier features probably hidden; C18 panelled inner
porch doorway; circa 1900 stair. There was a C17 or C18 plaster ceiling in the
right-hand room until a few years ago (since fallen).
First floor and roof structure not inspected.
Rubble garden walls enclose on 2 sides a rectangular garden at the front. Aligned
with the porch doorway is gateway with dressed granite monolithic piers.
