Plan: L-shaped plan with older range running east-west down the slope.

At the front of its higher end a circa mid c19 wing has been added consisting of 3 rooms in a row.

Below of are 2 4-light french windows each in a bay. Between them is a c20 glazed door in a small porch. Older range projects from right-hand end considerably lower with 3 window front, consisting of small c20 2-light casements on first floor, the 2 right-hand one dormers. On the ground floor are 2 fixed small-paned lights to the left. To their right is an c18 2-light wooden mullion window. The thatch extends down in a catslide over the right-hand part of this range forming a pentice for an open porch with a c19 plank door behind. Lower c19 single storey outbuilding attached at right-hand end. Interior: inaccessible at time of survey but likely to contain features of interest such as open fireplace, ceiling beams and possibly early roof timbers.
