House, still in use, probably built by William Smith in circa 1870 and much altered in the later 19th century. It is a two-storey, L-plan, gabled house with first floor breaking eaves. There is a courtyard formed to the rear by singles storey stable. The house has Tudor details, and is constructed from squared and coursed granite, now with harl-pointing, stugged ashlar dressings and a base course. The grey slate roof has gablet coped skews, bracketted skewputts and kneelers, wallhead, gablehead and ridge stacks, gabled dormerheads and cast-iron rooflights to the stables. The three-bay north-east elevation has a granite porch at the centre. To the north is an advanced bay with a Tudor-arched doorway containing a panelled door with a panelled fanlight, entablature and decorative cast-iron brattishing. There is also a lead-roofed canted window at the ground floor, a first floor gablehead window above and a ball finial. The bay to the east is gabled with a full-height canted window with dividing cornice and stepped coping and a roll finial. The four-bay north-west elevation has two central recessed bays, each with a window at the ground and dormerheaded windows at the first floor. The outer bay to the north has a broad, slightly advanced gable with three grouped windows to each floor, those to outer north being blind. The west outer bay is also gabled and advanced, with a window to each floor. The south-east elevation has a courtyard with a service wing recessed to the south with a gable and rear door. The centre of the elevation has an advanced gable with a window at the ground and a blinded window above and in flanking bays. A recessed bay to the east has a raised chimneybreast, window and blind windows. There are two timber porch additions to the rear of the principal wing. The stables are in the form of a gabled single-storey and hayloft block with two broad doorways to the courtyard and a small window. The south-east gable has a window and hayloft opening and there is a timber extension running at right angles to the south-west at the rear. A single-storey, rectangular-plan slatted timber outbuilding to the south has a granite base course, a north elevation with a pair of sliding, two-leaf, boarded timber doors, other boarded timber doors, one part-glazed, a ten-pane timber window with a top hopper and a timber lean-to to the west. The roof has grey slates.
