The farmhouse, dated 1759 on the door lintel, is paired with a byre constructed in the mid to late 18th century. The farmhouse is built from tooled dressed sandstone and features a Welsh slate roof with ashlar chimneys, while the byre is constructed from squared rubble with a concrete-tiled roof.

The farmhouse is a two-storey, three-bay structure with a chamfered plinth and prominent raised quoins. Its central doorway, now replaced, sits within a rusticated stone surround; the original lintel inscribed with the date 1759 is partially obscured by an unsympathetic 20th-century porch addition. Windows are 12-pane sashes set in raised stone surrounds. The steeply pitched roof has moulded, coped gables with shaped kneelers, and is flanked by stepped end chimney stacks with corniced tops.

Adjoining on the right, the two-storey, two-bay byre includes a central doorway with alternating stone jambs and a replacement door. Two rectangular openings sit just below the eaves. The roof is hipped over the right return. A low, two-storey outshut extends from the rear of the farmhouse.
