The building is an above average example of a late medieval Devon farmhouse. It has a number of interesting and distinguishing features, including plank and muntin screens, arched door-heads, balustered stair rails and some interesting jointed cruckery in the roof, and is in need of sympathetic repair and rehabilitation.
