Farmhouse, now house. C17, altered in C18. Handmade brick on plinth of large rectangular sandstone blocks, slate roof.

L-shaped plan: two bays, the first built as a receding two bay crosswing, with a projecting porch at the junction and a short firehood wing continued on the same axis as the main range to the left of the wing. Two storeys; two-storey gabled porch attached to the right-hand side of the gabled first bay has outer doorway with stone lintel under a brick label, a lozenge of blue headers above this, the apex broken by a segmental-headed cross window at first floor; to the left the first bay has a segmental-headed two-light casement at ground floor and a three-light sliding sash above, altered to make a top-hung casement opening; to the right, the second bay has one window like this on each floor, between these and the porch a segmental-headed doorway altered as a window; and a gable chimney. The firehood wing to the left of the crosswing has a little firewindow with stone surround and brick label (now blocked), and its gable end has an inserted window and an external chimney stack partly cut down. The main range has a storeyed rear outshut, its gable end has a short brick ledge at first floor, in front of this at mid-level marks like a blocked doorway, and towards the rear one window on each floor. Rear mostly altered, with patching in place of former back door, a three-light sliding sash above; and rear bay of crosswing (now part of No.56) has one altered window on each floor and an external brick chimney at the gable.

Interior: entry from porch directly into lower end of first bay (inserted partition making a passage); firehood beams at the outer ends of each bay, both full-width with stopped chamfer; 1/4-round moulded beams in first bay, chamfered beams in second bay; dog-legged staircase in outshut to rear of junction of bays (splat balusters concealed by panels); at first floor of first bay stone bearers for former firehood cap visible in gable of firehood wing.

(Note: a two-bay plan with two gable-end firehoods is unusual in C17; and the firehood wing extremely unusual in this area (some comparable examples found in Burnley District). History: not known.
