The farmhouse is of medieval date. The barn to the west of the house incorporates elements of an earlier, possibly 16th century, building and may have one been a more prestigious structure, perhaps even a former wing of the main house which was separated with the demolition of the western bays of the latter in the late 17th/18th century. The building has now been converted to domestic use. To the north-east is a large U-shaped range. The western and part of the northern range appear to have been built as cattle sheds and the middle section of the north range as a stable. These are probably early 19th century in date and may be part of the smaller U-shaped range shown on the Tithe Map. There is a clear building break between these and the eastern part of the north range which appears to have been built as a linking building to the barn forming the eastern range and which probably date to the 1860s-80s, replacing the buildings shown on the Tithe Map. The eastern range is a fine example of a combination barn with a covered cart shed with cast iron columns and enclosed water-powered machinery on the ground floor and a threshing barn above.
