A two-storey/ three-bay farmhouse facing south east. The natural slate roof is coped and has an unrendered granite chimney (with concrete caps) on each gable. The walls are of coursed granite rubble, with a boarded door central to the façade. There is a single window to either side, and three windows to each of the first floor bays. All are 1/1 margin-paned top-hung timber replacements.

Historical Information

A building is shown at this location on the 1834 and 1859 OS 6” maps. However, the ground plan appears to change on the 1901 edition, suggesting a substantial alteration or rebuild (the latter is more likely). Sources: 1. PRONI - OS 6/3/53/1 (1834 OS map). 2. PRONI - OS 6/3/53/2 (1859 OS map). 3. PRONI - OS 6/3/53/3 (1901 OS map).

Evaluation

A good quality renovation but the top hung windows and unrendered/unpainted walls do not follow local tradition.
