Farmhouse. Circa 1740 incorporating earlier house of 1725 with Thompson
coat-of-arms over front entrance. Incised cement render, with painted raised
quoins and cornice, on chamfered plinth. Graduated greenslate roof with coped
gables and kneelers; yellow brick chimney stacks. 2 storeys with attic, 5 bays
of double span. Top-glazed panelled door in bolection architrave within fluted
plaster doorcase under large segmental pediment enclosing coat-of-arms. Sash
windows in painted stone architraves. Yorkshire-sash attic windows in painted
stone surrounds. Short shaped flanking walls form integral part of house, that
to left surmounted by griffin holding coat-of-arms in its claws. Rear wall has
round-headed 2-light staircase window and small attic windows. Interior
datestone, inscribed G & J.T. 1725 (Gustavus & Johanna Thompson), has carved
