Detached T-plan three-bay two-storey farm house, built c.1820, with attached outbuildings to west. Pitched and hipped slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks. Painted rendered and roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed openings with three-over-three timber sliding sash windows and stone sills. Replacement timber casement and fixed pane windows to rear (south). Square-headed door opening with replacement timber glazed door. Recent enclosing wall to front (north). Outbuildings to west having pitched and lean-to slate and corrugated-iron roofs, painted rubble stone walls with plinth, square-headed window and door openings with timber battered door and stone sills. Gable-fronted outbuilding to north having pitched slate roof, rendered crow-stepped gable and square-headed doorway.

An appealing farmhouse and attendant outbuildings, which form an important group of the vernacular heritage in the local landscape. The complex displays various building phases, which tell much of the changing needs and fortunes of its occupier.
