Heavily renovated in 1990s. 1971 list mentions 'hewn beams, curved fireplace beam, wide-boarded door and stair winding around central post' but much of this has gone.

Three first floor small-paned windows with fixed lights except top half of left side. Centre window slightly longer. Ground floor two 12-pane sashes and centre C20 half-glazed door. Large boulders in footings. Rear has central single-storey kitchen wing with end stack, 12-pane sash each side and door on E. Main house has small 6-pane casement each floor to right, 12-pane sash and small window to left.

Interior
