Plan: L-shaped building. The main block faces north. It had a 3-room plan. Small

room plan rear block (now the kitchen) projecting to rear of right end. This may be
secondary. 2 storeys.
Exterior: irregular 3-window front of C20 casements with glazing bars. Front
doorway is left of centre and now contains a C20 door behind a contemporary gable
and thatch-roofed porch. Main roof is gable-ended and rear block roof is half-
hipped.
Interior: both main rooms have plain soffit-chamfered crossbeams and the fireplaces
are granite rubble with bead-moulded oak lintels. Roof not inspected.
