A fine group of traditional farm buildings with a thatched 17th century farmhouse at their centre. The farmyard to the north of the farmhouse is dominated by a large bank barn which has a horse engine house behind. There are linhays on either side of the yard, the eastern one with a former carthorse stable at its southern end. To the south of this, east of the farmhouse, is another bank barn on the west side of which is a lean-to animal house. At the southern end of the yard below the farmhouse is another linhay. Between this and the bank barn is a small range of pigsties.
