Single depth ranges surrounding rectangular courtyard with continuous outshut to east. Ground slopes down to east and south. Wide central entrance to north flanked by single storey lodge-like buildings originally for pigs or calves. Opposite to south is single storey range with alternate doors and window openings probably for loose boxes. 2 storey shippon range to east with storage over. West shippon range, architecturally the most impressive is built into bank to rear. Central part is taller with 3 wide openings to ground floor. Wide central doorway to first floor grain store has segmental arch and canopy formed by roof extension supported on shaped wooden corbels and brackets (similar doorway opposite to rear) small first floor windows are principally for ventilation. Half-hipped roof has central bellcote with pyramidal roof surmounted by weather vane. Throughout the group are many original wooden window frames both single light and 2-light windows with mullions, some with original shutters and vertical iron bars. To ground floor left of west range is 16-pane 2-light casement. Interiors of all buildings have their original king post roof structures and floors. Cobbled floors to north range, most of west range and northern end of east range. Other ground floors now concreted over for cow stalls. Many original fittings survive including slate pen partitions to building east of entrance, slate feeders to part of west range and some original stall partitions. An interesting technical innovation is brick vaulted surface water or slurry collection tank under floor of building to south-east corner connected to drain from lowest part of yard. An unusually intact farm group.
