Detached two-storey barn and dairy building to west, parallel to house, with pitched slate roof, rubble stone walls, and external stone steps leading to first floor.

Appraisal
A simple but well-composed and finely detailed two-storey house distinguished by unusual Wyatt windows which give it a sense of grandeur more usually assoicated with larger houses. Though some fabric has been replaced, the building's proportions, eaves corbels, and particularly the windows, contribute to its historic character. The vernacular courtyard adds to its setting and context.
