The larger left hand range has a symmetrical 3 window front of late C18 or early C19 tripartite sashes with 4:8/4 panes on first floor and 5/15:5 panes on the ground floor.

The main range to the left has a symmetrical 2-room plan with central stairhall but the right-hand room clearly dates to the C17. Behind the left-hand room is an unheated dairy wing probably C18. Recessed from the right-hand room is another 1-room range also apparently C17 which formerly extended further that way. C19 outshuts added along rear wall. The main range was remodelled in the late C18 or early C19 and possibly also extended to the left at this time.
