A 2-storey, 2-unit plan farmhouse with 2-storeyed central rear wing, and unusual main elevation with wide central gabled bay housing entrance, but otherwise blind. Render over rubble, with boulder foundations and a raking plinth along the base of the L (S) wall. Roof of old, small slates with red clay ridge tiles and rectangular, rendered, gable stacks with capping. The principal elevation faces E; a 2-window range with central entrance beneath broad gable. Flanking windows are 6-pane sashes to ground floor, small 4-pane sashes beneath the eaves above. To the rear the windows are a mix of small-paned sashes and casements.  

The interior was not inspected at the time of the survey.  

Listed as a well-preserved traditional farmhouse, the apparently conventional plan modified by the unusual wide central gable defining the entrance bay. Forms a group with its farmbuildings.
