Probably built in the 17th century, the original part being the southern half of the front range. In the 18th century the farm was raised in status, enlarged by the north addition of the present front range, plus a little later, a rear lean-to range, and the old house was heightened to agree with the new construction. This work had taken place by 1786, but was perhaps piecemeal as regular fenestration was not acheived, and may be associated with Richard Gorden, the occupant at the time who was also Sherriff of Glamorgan in 1770. It was again considerably enlarged in the late 19th century by the addition of a rear service wing with kitchens.

the main house is of two storeys with a front (east) elevation of four windows, and a partly collapsed lofted farm range to the left. The house is constructed of local stone which has been whitened, and has a slate roof with ridge tile and stone chimneys. The end gable is rendered with a small attic window. The windows in the front elevation are irregular with those of the left half of the elevation (original) replaced with four-pane sashes, while to the right of the house are 12-panes with 18th century hornless sashes, all sills being of slate.

The interor retains the kitchen fireplace with its back to the south gable wall with its timber bressummer and small bread oven, and the original entrance to one side with adjacent winding outshut stairs.
