Farmhouse and attached farmbuildings. Farmhouse dated 1730 (on door lintel)
built by William Dent; farmhouse and farmbuildings altered in mid-late C19.
Dressed and rubble sandstone; house, formerly heather thatched, has Welsh slate
roof and stone chimneys; farmbuildings have stone-flagged roofs. Altered cross-
passage, linear plan with attached flanking farmbuildings.

2-storey farmhouse. Wide, 2-bay garden front has replaced casements in
projecting, nearly-square surrounds. Replaced door to left with lintel
inscribed 17 WD 30. Steeply-pitched roof. External gable chimneys have
stacks with top ledges.

2-storey farmbuildings have flush quoins. Scattered boarded and Dutch doors
and first-floor openings in projecting tooled surrounds. Long left range has
external stone stairway near farmhouse end. Shorter right range has scattered
breathers. Low-pitched roofs with coped gables.

Several single-storey rear outshuts, under stone and slate lean-to roofs, have
replaced fenestration. Right outshut has tall external chimney.

Interior not inspected but said to retain original features including panelled
doors and upper crucks.
