Farmhouse with attached store to North, originally part of a larger complex now
ruined. Initials and date T & AP 1594 on panel in gable over entrance. Exact
building chronology difficult to establish: South probably early C16, addition
of wing and crosswing to North probably mid and late C16 respectively; all with
later alterations. Stone rubble walls with red and yellow sandstone dressings;
graduated greenslate roof with stone ridges and 5 chimneys, 4 with massive, tall
round shafts on square bases. Irregular plan. 2 storeys. Scattered
fenestration of various dates from C16 onwards, mostly mullion-and-transom under
hoodmoulds. Interior has many original features including exposed beams,
staircase with turned balusters, fireplaces, garde-robe and panelled room to
upper floor. For details see R.C.H.M. pp 155-156 which also includes a floor
plan although the dating shown on it may not be accurate.
