The central boarded door is also a replacement, but is lower than the original door and has stonework in the space above it. The rear has an added continuous single-storey blockwork lean-to, above which are 3 small-pane wooden cross windows (renewed to the R). The L gable end has a single narrow pantry vent lower L.
Interior
The central entrance hall has a full-height dog-leg stair with plain balusters and newels. The kitchen to the L retains in its ceiling rings for hanging pork and salmon. The parlour has a boarded floor, while the other ground-floor rooms retain flagstones. Panelled doors throughout.
Reason for designation
Listed as a good early C19 farmhouse and as part of a well-preserved farmstead with the cow house and barn.
