Farm cottage. Late C18, altered. For the Wentworth Castle estate. Coursed,
squared sandstone now rendered, Welsh slate roof. 2 storeys, 3 x 1 bays.
Central 6-panel door and 4-pane overlight in square-faced surround, 16-pane
sashes with projecting sills to other bays. Cavetto-moulded gable copings.
Left return: blocked doorway in ashlar surround with pulvinated frieze and cornice.
Central lst-floor 6-pane sash in eared and shouldered architrave; later casement
on its left; pedimented gable with blocked, chamfered slit in tympanum. 2 brick
stacks at eaves on left.

Interior: some C18 doors and a re-used C17 door.

The eared and shouldered architrave on left return is similar to 2nd-floor windows
of Wentworth Castle's east front and may have been re-used after the remodelling
of its southern return bay in 1759-64. Formed a pair with adjacent cartshed now
altered. Attached wall to rear-left corner listed with barn at Home Farm (q.v.).
