Location
Situated on the north side of a by-lane reached off the A 4042 and over the canal. The farmhouse is set above and at right angles to the farmyard.

Exterior: Single-storey and attic colourwashed rubble farmhouse with slate roof and gable-end chimney to downhill end. Gabled dormers and modern porch. Horned small-pane sash to left of boarded door with glazed panel and small-pane casement to right; cambered brick arched heads. Single-storey service range set back to left with brick chimney and casements under timber lintels; originally a window flanked by two doors (one remaining). Rubble wall divides house from farmyard.
