The farmhouse is on an L-plan, with a cross passage flanked by rooms with front lateral stacks and a rear kitchen wing; transverse rear staircase. 2 storeys. The entrance wing has 2 large slate-hung external eaves stacks. Windows have almost all been replaced in the late C20, but in early openings. On the entrance side is one window, and a central plank door on strap hinges in a late C20 brick porch; there are 3 dove holes. The 4-window return wing, facing the yard, has four 2-light above 2 at the ground floor, with an area of slatehanging to the upper storey. This wing has a cropped gable stack or ventilator, and seems likely to have been added to the original range. The inner faces of the wings have various casements, and a plank door to the cross passage, and the N gable is plain. INTERIOR: part of the ground floor only was accessible. Most original detail has been removed or modified; the cross passage is in concrete, and fireplaces include one from the mid C19, with tiles. No beams are visible. There are some plank or panelled doors. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: on the entrance side is an opening to the yard, then a rubble wall approx 1m high to a rounded top, which returns to the small gabled piggery running parallel with the return wing. This has a door in each gable end, and a full height plank door in the centre of the long side. The wall then continues opposite the S wing, and returns to it at the gable end.
