Farmhouse, sometime two cottages, now house. Late C16/early C17 with later alterations. Coursed limestone rubble with some ironstone banding to left, slate roof and end stacks - stone to left, brick to right. 2 storeys, 3-window range. Ground floor has a sash window with stone lintel and flush keystone, a C20 door in opening with similar lintel, a blocked door with gauged stone head and a sash window with a similar head to right. First floor has casement windows of 3, 2 and 3 lights, with gauged stone heads. Left-hand chimney stacks carved with 3 trefoils (mark of the Tresham family). Later red brick wing to rear. Interior: ground floor left hand room has chamfered cross beam and the very thick and partly hollow-sounding end wall suggests that an inglenook fireplace may survive behind the present C20 one. The right hand room has deeply-chamfered cross beams and a 2-panel C18 door.
