Farm house in Letterfore has a thatched porch out front and a flat-roofed extension stretching across the back. The porch had to marry into the family; the extension seems to have slipped in during the speeches.

Detached five-bay single-storey vernacular house with attic, built c.1800, with recent flat-roof extension to full length of rear (south-west) elevation, and recent timber porch with thatched roof to front. Pitched water reed thatched roof with block ridge having rendered chimneystacks and gables, roof-light to rear pitch. Painted rendered walls, slightly battered to south-east gable. Square-headed window openings with painted stone sills and deep reveals, having two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows to front elevation, and replacement uPVC elsewhere. Square-headed door opening to front having replacement battened timber half-door. Three-bay single-storey former forge to west and contemporary with house, now in use as house and having pitched thatched roof with rendered chimneystack and gables, rendered walls with recent porches to north-west and south-west elevations and horseshoe-arched opening to north-east having replacement battened timber doors. Small pitched thatched-roof shed to south-east.
This house, along with its small collection of outbuildings, makes a fine contribution to the surrounding rural landscape. The retention of thatched roofs and timber sliding sash windows contribute to the significance of the buildings.
