A large 2-storey house consisting of an old (C16) house to L (uninhabited at time of inspection) and a larger C17 house joined to R (now the main house) in a long, continuous range facing the yard on N side.

The main house has pebble-dashed, battered walls, stone tile roof and C19 white-brick stacks with detached diagonal flues to R and L. The 3-window new house has 2-light small-pane casements (renewed early 1990s in C19 openings), the first-floor windows under gablets, and with an additional 3-light window inserted lower L. The doorway is L of centre inside a C19 gabled porch, its entrance having an elliptical arch and moulded key. The front door is boarded. Set back to R is a lower 1-window wing, which has a lower projection behind it.

The old house on L side has mainly cement-rendered, battered walls with pantile roof and a corbelled first-floor stack to L gable end cut down at the ridge. Facing the yard are boarded doors R and L with a fixed small-pane window centre-R and a fixed small-pane window upper R, probably originally a doorway. In the L gable end the old house has small attic lights flanking the stack and an inserted doorway lower R. A short pent-roofed link is at the rear and is attached to the house and barn. At the rear, the old house has 2 narrow strips in the upper storey formed by narrowing earlier windows, and 2 windows with brick surrounds in the lower storey to the L of which is a lean-to 'ty bach' and an outshut housing the stair.

The rear of the main house has a shallow 2-window outshut to R with 3- and 2-light windows in the main room overlooking the floodplain of the River Rhymney. Above is a 2-light window under a gablet, the 3-window front to the L having similar 2-light windows, under gablets in the upper storey. The doorway is offset to R with a similar porch to the front.
