Farmhouse constructed of stone rubble under a slate roof. Shown on the 1841 Tithe Map as having an irregular but generally rectangular plan form. A free-standing building to the north had been demolished by the time of the 1889 Ordnance Survey map, apart from its west end. This surviving section appears on the 1958 map. The west end of the main farmhouse was removed after 1958. The building probably had a three cell cross-passage plan. Ornately carved ceiling beams in kitchen area. Roof retains some original timber A-framed trusses with notched and lapped collars. Other details: No 1613.
