House part has central half-glazed door with windows on either side, left with Victorian sash, right with joinery missing. Small window in right gable end lighting croglofft. Door to cowhouse missing.

Interior

Interior not accessible at time of Survey but said to have 2-unit plan with some evidence of former croglofft over service end.

Reasons for Listing

Included as a well-preserved example of a remote-moorland edge smallholder's cottage and attached cowhouse set within their own small field system, forming a highly distinctive component at the limit of settlement in this important encroachment landscape.
