Two storey farmhouse with gable end stacks. The external stack to the left end has set-offs. The front (south) elevation has an
asymmetrical three window arrangement to the giound and first floor. The windows are 19th century casements with three panes per light. There is a deep lean-to porch to the front which is to the left of centre. lt has a state roof and a wide plank front door. The outbuilding adjoining at the right end has a blocked doorway to the front.

A good example of an 18th century vernacular cottage which retains a significant proportion of its historic fabric including its external
stack with set-offs
