Detached five-bay two-storey farmhouse, built c.1840, with flat-roofed extension to rear and gable-fronted porch to front. Now derelict. Set within its own grounds. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks, terracotta ridge tiles and cast-iron rainwater goods, terracotta ridge cresting and finials to porch. Pebbledashed render to walls with smooth rendered plinth and quoins. Channelled render to porch. Replacement aluminium windows with tooled stone sills. Some timber casement windows to rear. Timber casement windows to porch with some stained glass. Timber and glazed replacement door. Wall to rear of house with ruined outbuildings set around yard showing traces of cobbling. Rendered sweeping wall and piers to front with replacement wrought-iron gate. Mature trees to front site.
Though derelict and falling into a ruinous state, this simple farmhouse retains a number of interesting features. Of note is the front porch, with its channelled render contrasting with the walls of the main building. Furthermore, the terracotta ridge cresting and stained glass provide decoration to an otherwise plain façade, with mature trees to its front, this house, together with its outbuildings, form an interesting group of farm related structures.
