Farmhouse. Largely early 19th Century in its present form, but incorporating several earlier phases of building. Brick with some stonework, plain tiled roofs. 2-storeys, main range of 2 units with central door in porch flanked by inserted casement windows on each floor, and with gable and stacks.

Evidence of an 18th Century building phase in this range, with earlier brickwork to ground floor and remains of blocked window in rear.

Rear ring incorporates substantial remains of masonry structure, showing clear evidence of earlier walling and chimney in coursed and squared rubble.
This stone work is said to have come from Hulton Abbey.
