Range of farm buildings. C17. Coursed squared rubble. Stone slate roof.
Two storeys at left end, three storeys at right end due to sloping ground.
All window openings are double-chamfered and have moulded surround. The left
end has six animal doors with quoined surrounds and deep lintels. A
continuous dripmould rises over the doors as hoods. Some doors are part
blocked. The doorway furthest to the right is particularly elaborate with
moulded jambs and ornamental lintel. Flanking the doors are single- and 2-
light windows, one with mullion missing. At the right end are 2 segmental-
headed cart entries sharing a common centre pier. Above these, to first
floor, is a symmetrical arrangement of four 2-light windows with a continuous
dripmould which rises as a hood over a central doorway (stairs now gone).
Eleven windows at high level, more closely-spaced over the right end, and
relating to the arrangement of the lower openings. Chamfered gable-copings
on moulded kneelers to right. Rear: Double-chamfered windows at high level
including two of 2 lights at left end.

Interior: Principal rafter trusses with massive tie-beams and intermediate
collars.

The building is a particularly richly-decorated example of the type.
