The shippon which is attached on the lower right hand side is of two storeys. It has
a plank door near centre and is flanked by tall narrow ventilation slits with second

Interior: The internal partitions on the ground floor of the farmhouse have been
altered in the the C19 and C20 with a stair inserted in the passage and a second
passage formed by the partitioning of the left hand room. An unheated central room
has been formed by the dividing and partitioning of the right hand room. The left
hand room has a moulded round granite arch with incised 'V' patterns across the face.
The arch has been reset into the recess adjoining the fireplace. The left hand room
has granite ashlar jambs to the fireplace. Plastered ceilings. Roof structure not
