DescriptionMainly late C16 but incorporating an early C17 storeyed addition. This gentry farmhouse has whitewashed elevations and is mostly 2-storeyed with attic, but is 3-storeyed to W wing. It is constructed of local limestone with sandstone dressings including quoins, but now over painted. Slate roof ( formerly stone tiled) with large stone chimney stacks, some rebuilt. The W wing has battered walls. The main front is to the S, a 5-bay elevation with modern render. At the time of inspection (May 1995), the modern fenestration was being replaced including sunk-chamfered surrounds, with stone mullion and transomed windows. Hoodmoulds above survive. It is distinctive for its off-centre, two-storey porch with half glazed doors and painted over sundial set into the gable over a broad Tudor label; the inner doorway has broach stops. The rear (N) side has the re-capped lateral chimneybreasts of the hall and parlour and deep lean-tos. Downhill gable end to the W has further chimney breast; mono-pitch roof extension (C19?) to the S side of this end has created a small courtyard by the back door.
