History

Mid C18 two-unit farmhouse, to which a single-storey rear outshut was added, probably in late C18, creating the present double-depth four unit plan. At the time of resurvey the house had been unoccupied for some years, but was in good general condition.

Exterior

Projecting end- stacks have rendered bases and tiled offsets at verge, and brick flues with three oversailing courses at cap. Two-storey SE front is symmetrical with central entrance. C18 2-light windows have centre wooden mullions. On left of mullion are opening casements with iron frames, on right are fixed windows with horizontal zinc glazing bars.

Ground floor has a 1 1 pane casement with timber lintel, next a C20 single-storey brick porch with monopitch asbestos roof and metal windows, and then a 2 2 casement. Attached to NE gable of house is a single storey gabled stone outbuilding with slate roof. The front comprises a two bay open-fronted pigsty with cobbled floor and centre stone partition, and the back a brewhouse which has an entrance doorway with boarded half doors (right) and a 2-light window with 2 fixed panes metal ventilation grille (left).
