Circa mid C17 range of two room and through passage plan, probably with kitchen on

in the mid C19 with a central passage, a dairy on the left, adjoining the earlier
range and the right hand room heated by a gable end stack
Two storeys. Almost symmetrical two window front to earlier range with the front
wall partly rebuilt. Central entrance has chamfered granite basket arch with pyramid
stops. Double french windows to left with margin glazing bars and 3-light mullion
window to right with probably C19 casements. C20 glazed porch across front. First
floor with two possibly C19 3-light casements. Rear elevation of right hand side
with 2-light mullion windows on ground and first floor, the ground floor window
obscured by C19 lean-to extension.
Rear wing; two storeys, regular 3-window front. Ground floor with 2-light casements
flanking C19 plank door. Three 2-light casements above with glazing bars. Granite
cills to window openings, possibly remains of mullioned windows.
Interior; earlier range partly remodelled in C19 and C20, C20 stair inserted in
through passage, ceiling beams in left hand room replaced in late C19/C20 with C19
marble chimneypiece. Right hand room with large kitchen fireplace; partly blocked
