Later bay slightly recessed at outer left, regular fenestration. Single storey wing slightly recessed to outer right, central window.

SE ELEVATION: window to right at ground.
Flush-panelled timber entrance door, modern glazed doors to N wing. 12-pane timber sash and case windows. Pitched roof, grey slates, piended N wing. Coped ashlar skews to principal gables, stugged sandstone gable apex stack and ridge stack with polygonal cans.
STEADING
U-plan steading comprising 2-storey and basement N range incorporating former saw mill with adjacent wheel pit, byre, and granary. 2-storey W range with byre and hay loft at ground and 1st floors respectively. S range with stables; farmhand accommodation and hay loft above.
Droved ashlar elevations with narrow band courses between storeys and eaves courses to N and S gables. Central door with 1st floor window above to each gable, single storey lean-to to centre left of N gable. Stone steps leading to loft door to S range. Small square opening (for mill wheel axle) to N range. Interior; timber panelled window shutters, shelved press and fireplace with iron grate to S range
Timber boarded doors, some 12-pane timber sash and case windows surviving; piended grey slate roofs to S and W ranges, altered to corrugated-iron mono-pitch at N range. Coped stugged sandstone ridge stack centring S range.
BOUNDARY WALLS: semicircular cope to rubble wall at roadside enclosing garden to E and farmyard to S.
A finely detailed formal farmhouse and steading group. The recessed outer bays of the farmhouse suggest that it was originally a 3-bay gabled house with single storey wings to either side. The porch may be from the same period as the 2-storey addition to the S end. The disposition of the stepped boundary wall seems to relate to the earlier house and may have had railings. The steading is particularly fine with its droved ashlar gables matching that of the principal elevation of the farmhouse. The gables would have framed the original farmhouse when viewed from the road to the E. The house has recently been renovated with the re-instalment of timber paned sash and case windows to all windows. There are plans to develop the steading, converting it to a number of dwellings (2002).
