House and cross wing, now two houses. Dated 1666 and 1703. For members of the Hardcastle family. Coursed squared gritstone, graduated stone slate roofs. The two houses form an L-plan: the northern house being earlier and of two storeys and three bays with probably lobby-entry plan, and the west wing of two storeys and three bays but an end stack plan. Both have plinth and quoins.

Northern house: studded board door to right of centre bay in moulded quoined surround with deep lintel cut to shallow Tudor-style arch on which the inscription 'I 1666 H' is cut in raised letters on a three-part panel. Far left: probably a four-light recessed-chamfered mullion window, converted to a door mid C18 and reformed as a window C19 or C20. Four- and three-light recessed chamfered mullion windows flank door; three similar three-light windows to first floor and single-light trefoil-headed window above door. Continuous hoodmould over ground floor windows with label stop to right; left end obscured by later attached wing. Large ridge stack above door, stepped external stack to left gable, end stack right. West wing, east front: centred half-glazed four-panel door under four-central pointed arch w:Lth cyma moulding to lintel and jambs. Incised inscription on lintel: ' H ' T L 1703 Door flanked by four-light (now three-light) double-chamfered mullion windows. Three
two-light windows to first floor, mullions removed; central window probably inserted, far right formerly of three lights. Continuous hoodmould to ground floor. Shaped kneelers, gable coping, corniced end stacks. Interior not inspected at resurvey.

The later house was probably built as a wing of the 1666 house, the service rooms being only in the earlier house, with internal access between.
