One storey and attics, 3 wide bays, with the framed and boarded door between bays 1 and 2 from the left, set in an open timber framed and slated porch. Timber windows with leaded glazing, and three two and three-light uPVC gabled dormers. Outsetting plinth at base of wall. Brick stack, external at the W gable end, the tops rebuilt in the late C19. Brick lean-to at the rear, and an asbestos sheet roofed lean-to at the E end. Farm buildings of stone rubble are attached to the rear of the parlour end at the W, forming an 'L'-plan.
