Approximately 1.3km NW of Bettisfield church, reached by farm road on the NW side of the A495.
History
A late C18 or early C19 farmhouse shown on the 1839 Tithe map.

The symmetrical 3-bay front has a central doorway, with replacement half-glazed door, original 3-pane overlight, and under a rebuilt brick head. Windows are replacements in original camber-headed openings, and have 2-light small-pane casements. In the 4-window R-hand side wall the L-hand windows are blind. Other windows are replacement 2-light and 3-light windows in original camber-headed openings.
Left-hand return range has 2 inserted doors, of which the centre-R may originally have been a window. In the lower storey are two 2-light windows in original openings and a 3-light window (possibly inserted) to the L, while the upper storey has three 2-light windows, all replaced in original camber-headed openings. The rear has an inserted central round-headed doorway, flanked by windows converted from former doorways. A blocked window is above the door.
