Grade II. House. Two ranges, C17 to right, C18 to left, linked by C18 projecting central wing gabled to road. Rubble stone. C17 wing has old tile roof and stack to right-hand gable. Two storeys, two bays. 3-light stone mullioned windows to ground floor, possibly re-sited, one C19 sash window to first floor left. Outbuilding with central door in range to right. Central wing has tiled roof, two storeys and blank gable wall; board door with rectangular barred fanlight and barred sash to first floor in right-hand return wall; two bays of barred sash windows to left-hand return. Left wing has slate roof, end stacks, two storeys, three bays of barred sashes with wider windows to left- hand bay, and central four-panelled door with barred rectangular fanlight and flat wooden hood on brackets. Single storey, one bay extension to left with hipped tiled roof (B1).
This building appears to retain two bays of a 17th century building of some quality, and is possibly the parlour end of a larger structure replaced in the early 19th century by the present handsome main range (B2)
