Detached farmhouse. C17, modified early C19. Ham stone cut and squared, coursed rubble to sides and rear, ashlar
dressings; Bridgewater patent interlocking clay tiles between tall coped gables, replacing thatch; stone slab chimney
stacks. Two storeys, 4 bays. Ovolo moulded mullioned windows of 4 lights below, under square labels; above, 3-light
horizontal bar casements , with plain opening centre lights under keystoned lintols: to lower bay 3 a moulded cambered
arched doorway with boarded door having 2 lights set in, enclosed by open stone porch with interlocking tile roof,
masking 2 late buttresses. Single storey double Roman clay tile roofed extension to east gable: in west gable, in what
appears to be a C17-C18 outshut of non-original build, a 2-light hollow chamfer mullioned window under square label
below, and small 2-light beaded mullioned window above. Interior not seen. About 9 m south of house with return back to
south-west corner of house, a near-ashlar boundary wall averaging 1.2 m high with square piers to former gateway
opposite door; the walls have no coping, the top ashlar being chamfered on edges: the whole adds to the setting of the
house and to the streetscene on an exposed corner site.
