The living room has a large inglenook stack in the gable end with a small fire window in the gable, and an added scullery at the back, W side. Entrance, a boarded door in a chamfered frame opening to the lobby beside the stack. Two-light 6-paned casement wood windows, the smaller window to the inner room having a drip ledge over. Remains of a corrugated iron bathroom in the front angle of the scullery. Entrance to the cowhouse is against the upper wall of the house. A single window each side.
Chamfered cross ceiling beam with swept-out stops. Fire beam is boxed in behind a mantle shelf.
Included as a good and well preserved small marginal land farmhouse, built on traditional lines.
