Summary

Farmhouse is L-shaped in plan with tall lean-to attached to the rear wing and smaller single storey lean-to at the western (left) end of the front of the house. Gabled porch to the centre front. Tiled roof. Thought to have been built in 1854 but appears to overly the footprint shown on the 1840s Tithe Map so may have early origins, unless this was a complete re-build.
