House to yard comprising double-pile pitched roofs with rendered end chimneystacks, rendered walls and square-headed openings with replacement uPVC windows and door. Garden wall with remains of square-profile piers to front of house, rubble stone boundary wall to either side of rear of house. Roofless remains of two-bay single-storey outbuilding to east end of north range, having rubble stone walls, square-headed openings with dressed limestone voussoirs, and segmental-arched door opening to east gable formed by partially blocked carriage arch, having dressed limestone voussoirs and red brick dressings.

Appraisal
Simple forms indicative of utilitarian function of outbuildings, however, order and coherence evidence of conscious design. Including well preserved remarkably formal symmetrically arranged range. Retains timber fittings. Interesting combination of polite architecture to symmetrical outbuilding, and less formal configuration of house facing yard with garden wall separating domestic from farm space.
