This large courtyard-plan home farm, of c.1870, is entered through a covered way. The farmstead is of one-and-a-half storeys. The stables, a byre and two inward-facing cart lodges with a loft over are in the courtyard group with the farmhouse in the S-E corner. There is also a wing containing the barn and the site of a water wheel extends out to the N. A threshing machine is still in place within the barn. The farm is built of sandstone rubble with a slate roof.
