Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 3-window front of C20 one and 2-light casements
in small openings. C20 gabled porch towards left end and plank door to right of

This farmhouse has a traditional 3-room plan despite its later date ; it survives in
a substantially unaltered state in a very isolated moorland setting.
