Probably a 3-room and through, or cross passage plan originally, possibly the lower end originally a shippon which was rebuilt at right angles (dated 1772), and stair hall formed between hall and inner room.

Converted in the 20th century to extend living accommodation. Steps to former loft doorway on inner face. End wall has doorway with date 1772 on jambs, at lower ground level, with 20th century oriel above.
Interior: wide staircase hall with reused fielded panel dado, later framed stairs at rear, and closely-spaced roughly chamfered ceiling beams. Plastered stud partition to smaller left-hand room at higher end with gable end fireplace with granite jambs, right-hand jambs has deep chamber and timber lintel concealed by 20th century hood. Solid wall between former hall and stair hall. Step down to larger lower room, the former hall, with lower end fireplace with monolithic granite jambs, later brick arch and oven in the back.
