Former inn and stables, now in use as a farm, built in circa 1710 with later additions and alterations, including an annexe added to the inn building in circa 1806. It is shown on the 1st edition OS map as a roughly L-plan building depicted as an inn with two L-plan buildings to the east and a mill lade passing the north-east corner of the site. There are some additions by the 2nd edition OS map and the inn is no longer depicted as such. Current OS maps show some further alterations to the buildings and the mill lade has been infilled. The main building of the present farmhouse, formerly the Inn, is two-storey, three window and centre door squared granite building with skewputts and coped chimneys. The circa 1806 annexe to the west is single-storey with a piended roof and is constructed from squared granite with one window and door to the south and two windows to the west. The door has a well preserved asuragal fanlight. Both buildings have supposed cherry-cock pointing, some of which is surviving on the west wall of the annexe. The main part of the house also has a single-storey rear wing. The listing notes the old box-bed partitions still exist inside, but were badly infested with woodworm. The roof members are from split trees, and are possibly original. The stables are the closer of the two buildings to the east of the former inn. It is a tall, two-storey and loft, granite rubble building with brush-pointed dressed margins and with skewputts. There is a slated-roof lean-to on the north gable and a slated-roof lean-to coach house on the east wall for three coaches. The original entry on the east was later walled up and an entry made on the south gable for farm use. The stable was originally for fourteen horses with chaumer (accommodation for hired help) above, but the upper floor and hay loft floor have both now been removed.
