Farmhouse. Late C17, altered early C19. Coursed rubble with freestone
dressings; double Roman tiled roof with coped raised verges and finials; large
ashlar stacks with cornice. 2 storeys and attics in 5 hipped dormers.
4 windows on ground floor and 5 on first, all early C19 Gothic style, 3-light
casements in ovolo moulded mullions and surrounds with arched heads and under a
dripmould on the ground floor; the first floor left window is blocked. Central
gabled, projecting ashlar porch with a finial on the apex; chamfered and 4-centre
headed door surround. The east gable has a 1:3:1-light late C19 bay window.
Rear elevation: four 3-light casement windows in ovolo moulded surrounds and
under relieving arches and a continuous string course; three 3-light windows in
3 steep coped gables; central door in chamfered and 4-centre headed surround and
flanked by buttresses. At the west end of the farmhouse is a single storey
outbuilding probably a dairy, with a pantiled roof which projects over the eaves
to rest on posts, thus forming a covered walkway; single and 2-light casement
windows as north elevation of the house. Beyond are 2 further outbuildings: the
first with a pitched roof is a former bakehouse and has a tall 3-light window;
the larger and westernmost building is a former dovecote, now a garage, with sawn
ashlar nesting boxes inside. A low coursed rubble wall with an ashlar coping
encloses the garden in front of the farmhouse; low square ashlar gatepiers in
centre of north side and taller piers at south east corner.
