Sub-medieval vernacular house and byre sited gable-end into the slope. This consists of a primary single end chimney cottage, probably of second-half C17 date, with an additional byre bay adjoining at the up-hill end; a later cart-bay adjoins beyond.  

Single-storey house-and byre, consisting of a primary cottage at the down-hill end, with a single-bay byre section at the up-hill end and a later cartbay stepped-up beyond. Of local rubble construction, the front elevation of the house section (NE) with residual whitening; medium-steep old slate roofs, the rear (SW) pitch of the house section of corrugated iron. The latter has a squat end chimney to the L and a near-centre entrance to the front, with recessed boarded door; to the L of this is a small, square primary window with C20 plain glazing. The byre section has a deeply-recessed boarded door to the R; C20 boarded doors to the cart bay.  

The interior was not inspected at the time of survey.  

Listed for its special interest as a sub-medieval vernacular house and byre retaining good original external character.
