A post medieval farmhouse which resembles a stone castle of two to three storeys, approached through an elaborate gate house and arch of similar character. There are two principle towers, each rectangular in plan rising above the slate pitched roof which for the most part is concealed behind stone battlements as a parapet treatment. The road passes very close to the southeast wall of the main structure and gives the appearance of having cut off a wing of the building which has then been cauterised with slate shingles to cover the wound.


Although no interior inspection has been made it is obvious that the building both externally and internally is in a very poor state of repair. Furthermore the grounds are not being adequately maintained and the property has a general feeling of decay and neglect. Some of the farm buildings are of completely different character and are described separately. The farm complex has historic significance and the buildings themselves have value from an architectural standpoint. Since there is a risk that the property will deteriorate it is suggested that the complex be listed for preservation in total but under a general intent to preserve the juxtaposition of the main 'folly' and a pleasing terrace of out-buildings in clearly defined grounds. Such a listing should give room for the modernising of the buildings provided their basic character is not changed. Since the validity of the grouping is concerned with farming, improvements should be judged also in the light of the need for an economical operation continuing.
