Pied Hopton was probably built for John Lewis Cadwallader, who appears to own the land c.1630. It is a lobby entry plan house, twice extended at the rear, first in the 18th century and later after 1840 forming a square plan. Timber framed, with a slate roof, the house has a rear 2 storey wing of stone. The framing is 3 panels high to ground floor, and a further 2 panels above the mid-wall bressumer, and jettied on plain brackets at the north end, the corner posts having monoxylous colonnettes, herringbone framing and a jettied gable over. There is a central boarded door within a 20th century open gabled porch and a central brick stack with octagonal brick flues.
