The partially cellared (later) MAIN HOUSE is equipped with two arched-head six-pane windows and two straight-topped six-pane windows in the front gable, a six-pane window in the left side gable with 1-brick roll courses; in the right side gable a straight-topped six-pane window and a cellar window with bars. The recessed section, which now houses the modern kitchen, is equipped with an arched-head six-pane window, a (not original) door in arched-head frame with fanlight in the front gable and a straight-topped four-pane window in the left side gable. The BARN SECTION is equipped with arched-head (internally painted blue) three-pane stable windows with bars in the left side gable and clamped part-doors and two straight-topped four-pane windows in the right side gable; in the rear gable double clamped part-doors, a straight-topped four-pane window and a clamped stable door with half-parlour door; against the wall a wooden chicken ladder. In the INTERIOR are notably present in the MAIN HOUSE the timber ceiling, the simply-moulded wooden hearth with on either side a pipe cabinet, the simple three-part wooden cupboards and bed-wall with simply-moulded edge along the top, the (partially renewed woodwork), the clamped doors; in the LIVESTOCK SECTION the three pine rafter-tied structures with round posts on stone bases, the clay part and fodder floor, the paving of red and yellow brick, the cow shed, the horse boxes with woodwork and wooden manger.

Valuation

Mid-19th-century (1856) hoe-and-grain farmhouse of general importance: - by reason of age and building history, - by reason of the carefully executed architectural design, - by reason of the still-present valuable interior components, - by reason of the visual (and formerly also functional) relationship between the farmhouse and the other complex components, - by reason of the fine location just outside the built-up area with open views over the fields.
