Farmhouse. Built or extensively remodelled 1635, C20 restoration. Sandstone rubble, stone slate roofs. L-plan with main wing aligned north-west/south-east facing south-west, second wing adjoins at south-east end and extends to north-east; central stack backing onto through-passage in second wing; south-east gable end stack with adjoining stone winder staircase. South-east front: two-storey main wing with gable end to left, small rectangular window lights stairway to left and C20 casement window to right of stack, single storey and attic to second wing to right with large C20 casement window to left of porch; squat wooden framed doorway with battened door; traces of two wooden framed windows with diamond shaped mullions and rough hoodmoulds survive to north-east gable end.

Interior remains largely intact, though extensively restored; plank-and-muntin panelled partitions provide main divisions; arched-headed doorway in partition between wings with date 1635, similar doorway to stairway, triangular head to doorway in partition between through-passage and north-east end service room in second wing, this doorway has been widened on either side at a later date, supposedly so as to accommodate the passage of barrels; good chamfered beams in main room of main wing with large open fireplace, further open fireplace in second wing. The second wing may be the earlier surviving part of the house which was extensively remodelled in 1635.
