What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey farmhouse, c.1820 on an L-shaped plan. Roughcast rendered walls with smooth rendered base course and cut stone quoins. Openings on ground floor set into recessed smooth rendered three-centred arches. Timber sash windows with stone sills. Timber panelled door with teardrop fanlight, timber surround and iron boot-scrapers. Hipped slate roof with smooth rendered chimney stacks. Extensions to south-west and north-west elevations.

A finely proportioned, elegant farmhouse with a wealth of attractive detail. The window surrounds, fanlight, door and boot-scrapers are all particularly noteworthy.
