History

Large farmhouse dated 1825. Recorded on the Tithe schedule as being owned by Lord Newborough; the tenant Thomas Elias. The scale of the house, and its architectural sophistication suggest that it was probably built by the estate.

Exterior

A 2-storey with attics, 3-window range, with storeyed service wing set at right angles to rear to form a T-shaped plan; single storeyed gabled outhouse to R (N). Built of roughly dressed stone laid to courses, front elevation with plinth, rear and side elevations pebbledash rendered; slate roof laid to diminishing courses, with stone copings and tall rendered rectangular gable stacks with capping.
