Large late C18 farmhouse with incorporated date recorded of 1697, together with the initials BW. This presumably either relates to an earlier building on site, or else the present building merely represents a remodelling.  

Large 3 storey L-plan farmhouse of limestone rubble construction with steeply-pitched slate roof; brick gable chimneys. Three-bay symmetrical facade formerly with partly-fixed metal casement windows (possibly original) and now with wooden small-pane casements; tripartite outer windows, segmentaly-headed to the lower floors. Central entrance with cambered head and door of 4 moulded panels, the upper ones with cusped heads; 4-pane overlight.  

The interior was not availablle for inspection during the re-survey, though in the previous inspection (1981) a late C18 closet was recorded on the ground floor, together with a stair with plain handrail and Chinoiserie tread brackets.  

Listed for its special interest as a late C18 farmhouse retaining good original external character and with some good recorded primary interior features.
