Roughly coursed rubble slate; Welsh slate roofs. 2-room, central cross passage with rear stairs, and shippon (now converted) to right under lower roof line; C19 front wing (raised to 2-storeys in late-C19) to left forming L-shaped plan overall. EXTERIOR: house a 3-window range with Yorkshire sashes to 1st floor (2 and 4 lights), and with 3-light Yorkshire sash windows flanking roughly central doorway to passage with half-glazed and panelled door.

To the right of the junction of these two sections of the house is a slit window of uncertain function.
