Listed building description
A two storeyed farmhouse built around 1600, and altered in the 20th century. It is timber framed, plastered and roofed with handmade red clay tiles on a clasped purlin roof. It is formed of three bays facing NW, with an almost central stack. A 20th century slate-roofed single-storey lean-to extension runs along the full length of the rear, and there is a smaller lean-to beyond. There are two large wood-burning hearths (one with minor repairs to brickwork), and the mantel beams are chamfered with lamb's tongue stops. On the first floor, at the front, there is a blocked original window with two ovolo mullions, saddle bars missing, with a shutter groove. There are other blocked original windows, with the mullions missing, and with shutter grooves. <1> <2>
