House.  Circa late C16/early C17 with a slightly later rear wing.  Framed construction on a sandstone rubble base, the front elevation and rear wing weatherboarded, the right return tile-hung; peg-tile roof; brick stacks.
Plan:  West facing.  The main block is a 3 room lobby entrance plan house, the 2 left hand rooms heated from back-to-back fireplaces in an axial stack, the inner (south) room unheated.  The main block has an outshut containing a straight stair, probably C18.  Rear left (north east) wing at right angles with an end stack is probably an C18 kitchen addition.  The partition between the 2 south rooms in the main block has been removed.  The present entrance is on the north return, into the wing.
Exterior:  2 storeys.  Main block roof gabled at the left end, half-hipped at the right end; axial stack with a staggered shaft.  Asymmetrical 4-window front with 2- and 3-light C20 casements with diamond leaded panes.  Similar fenestration to the wing.  The rear elevation has a catslide roof over the outshut and a gabled dormer.  Gabled, weatherboarded C20 porch on the left return.
Interior:  Well-preserved.  Exposed carpentry to the ground floor rooms including chamfered crossbeams.  The hall fireplace has a moulded timber lintel.  Wall-framing complete with flared jowls to the wall posts.
Roof:  Tie-beam, clasped purlin and queen strut design, re-roofed in the C20 over the north end room of the main range.  Roof of wing not seen at time of survey.
