Lower 2-storey wing to N may incorporate part of the house with conical chimney described by J Romilly Allen in 1902. Squat rendered end stack, two small 4-pane sashes above, door below in round-arched stone surround, the wall thicker in area of doorcase C19 4-pane sash with painted brick cambered head to right.

J Romilly Allen drew the house in 1883 and included it in the list of eight round chimneyed houses in the St David's area, and some parts of this would appear to survive. The C19 work is a good example of the typical farmhouse of the area, and unaltered (1989).
