This ruined farmstead is situated on a gentle W-facing slope in agricultural ground at an altitude of about 85m OD.
NMRS, MS/712/38.
This mid-19th-century farmstead has an L-shaped plan comprising a house and what was probably a byre and two stables. There is a lean-to shed of breeze-block construction with a roof of corrugated material attached to the S end of the E range. At the W end of the longer, S range is a one-storeyed farmhouse of lobby, scullery, four rooms and a timber and corrugated-roofed porch. The buildings are of coursed granite. The farmhouse has a slate roof while the other buildings are roofed with pantiles. When visited in 2000 the farmstead was derelict.
