Details Farmstead still in use. A 17th century long low house foursquare in pinned boulder rubble, corbie-steps and coped chimneys. There is a built-up pend at the north end with a moulded arch. There is the remains of an oven and a large L-shaped garden. On the 1st edition OS map it is shown as a U-shaped steading, with court open to the south-east, which has an extension on the south-west. Two other buildings are shown, a smaller one to the north and a long L-shaped building to the west. By the 2nd edition OS map the building to the north has been removed and part of the building to the west is marked as disused. The 2005 map shows that only the steading survives.
