History
Mid C19 farmhouse with servants' wing.  

Exterior
Two-storey 4-unit farmhouse with rear wing. Timber-framed, in large square panels in the lower storey and smaller rectangular panels in the upper storey, with rendered infill, and with random rubble gable walls. Slate roof with brick stacks to R of centre and L. Centrally-placed gabled porch is rendered and has a panelled door with infilled overlight and round-headed windows in the side walls. To L is a boarded door. Large 2-light casements in the lower storey have margin glazing; smaller 2-light casements in the upper storey are below the wall plate. Behind the unit to L is a lower 2-storey wing with 2-light casements in the upper storey and replaced windows in the lower storey.  

Interior
Not inspected (November 1996).  

Reason for designation
A good late example of the timber-framed tradition, retaining original detail.
