roughcast rendered stone and some cob. Slate roof with gable end rubble stacks
with offsets.
Nearly symmetrical 2-room plan with heated rooms each side of wide through-passage

2 storeys. 3-window range. C20 3-light casements, 3 panes per light. Leanto
slate roof to porch with 4 panelled door, the upper 2 panels glazed.
Interior : largely altered in C19 with most of the joinery of this date intact.
Ceiling beam and bressumer with broad chamfers to right hand room, beams boxed in
to left hand room. One C17 stop-chamfered door surround to chamfer over right hand
room. Dairy fittings intact. No access to main roof space but the feet of 3
