Farmhouse. Dated 1859. Yellow/buff brick. Slate roof with overhanging verges and eaves with brick corbels. Brick axial stacks, one with tablet inscribed MD 1859. Picturesque Tudor style estate house. PLAN: Double depth with parlour, dining room and central entrance/stairhall in front range, and kitchen and dairy behind; small single storey rear wing added later in C19, containing what appears to be a swill kitchen. EXTERIOR: 1 storey and attic. Symmetrical 3-bay front with rusticated brick quoins and central 2-storey gabled porch, also with rusticated brick quoins, corbelled brick string and brick hoodmould to doorway; inner doorway has 6-panel door and 3-centred arch fanlight with radiating glazing bars. 2 and 3-light mullion-transom windows break forward, with diamond lattice casements, in chamfered openings with stone lintels and hoodmoulds. Similar windows at sides and at rear. 2 gables at rear with small single-storey gable-ended wing at centre. INTERIOR is little altered and retains many of its original features, including the staircase with stick balusters, chimneypieces and grates, panelled doors and other joinery, much of which appears to have been reused from an ealier C19 house.
