What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey farmhouse, built c.1840, now disused. Later lean-to extension to rear (north). Pitched artificial slate roof having rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls having sill band and roughcast render to first floor of front elevation. Square-headed window openings with stone sills and rendered reveals throughout, having two-over-two pane and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed door opening to front elevation having glazed timber door. Set within own grounds along roadside within rendered enclosing walls, having square-profile gate piers.
The horizontal emphasis and gabled chimneystacks of this building were once typical features of farm houses throughout the county. Farm houses such was this are increasingly threatened by dereliction, resulting in the loss of the architectural heritage of nineteenth century land working families. Though now in poor condition, it retains much of its historic fabric and features.
