Brick and slate lean-to housing wash-house at right-hand end. Orderly window arrangement, ground-floor openings under cambered voussoir heads, all chamfered, transomed frames with iron-bar glazing and central opening casement. First-floor windows, three-light iron casements with chamfered frames. Panelled front door, hipped slated porch canopy on chamfered posts. Outbuildings: L-plan range 25m north of the farmhouse incorporating a four-bay barn and lofted cowhouse. High rubble base walls, stud framework uppers with weatherboarding, slate and corrugated iron roofs. Contemporary with the farmhouse.  

Single-pile plan with central stairs between parlour and kitchen; end bay houses back-stairs and dairy with two salting slabs. Kitchen and dairy end have scroll-stopped beams, parlour has straight-cut stopped beam. Flagstone floors, boarded doors with strap-hinges.
