An early C17 farmhouse (itself a rebuilding of late medieval timber-framed hall-house) extended and altered in 2 phases, c.1700, and c. 1735, with bricks made on site. It consists of a three storey brick block aligned N-S which is 18th century, with a 17th century wing to the rear. From the early 18th century to 1790, the house was that of the agent for the London Lead Company, said to be the first to use coal to smelt lead, and producer of much of the silver for English coinage in the early 18th century.

The 3-storey block is constructed of red brick (with a shallow brick plinth), but with a section of yellow stone to the right on the ground floor, and with a slate roof. There is a brick chimney to the left, and a similar chimney on the ridge.
The upper floor has 16-pane sash windows set at eaves level, while the first floor has 16-pane horned sashes (cambered heads), and the ground floor, two 16-pane horned sashes to the left of the doorway which has a bracketed hood (modern panelled door). To the right of the door, 3 similar windows are set in stone walling. Similar windows in right gable and rear elevations.

There is a 17th century wing to the left, next to the 17th century wing is a 2-light stone mullioned window with a dripstone over.

At right angles, is the early 17th century farmhouse, constructed of yellow sandstone rubble but with the roof covering lost. This building was one storey plus attic. The south elevation has a catslide dormer; and there is a doorway (blocked) at an angle with the later house which has a 4-centred stone head and stone jambs, A further doorway to the left, while the north elevation has a further two doorways, one of which is blocked.

The interior of the 17th century rear block has 2 cruck trusses. The west cruck retains its windbraces in situ while the east cruck is arch-braced. Ceiling of rough beams.
