| Farmhouse and associated outbuildings, now derelict and large outbuilding at west end now a roofless shell. Probably C17 or earlier, raised and remodelled in mid C18; large outbuilding added between these phases. Watershot coursed sandstone rubble with quoins to east end, 2 intermittent courses of through-stones at 1st floor, stone slate roof. Single-depth 2-unit plan on east-west axis facing south, with large outbuilding at west end, lean-to cart-shed added at east end. | ||
| EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and 3 windows, symmetrical; with a plinth and a stone slate drip-course over the ground floor; a square-headed doorway in the centre, with a board door, 2 square windows at ground floor with monolith lintels (that to left lacking joinery and that to right lacking glazing), and 3 small rectangular sashes above (all with damaged joinery and lacking glazing). Gable chimneys, both corbelled. The west gable wall has a very steep gable line of the original single-storey house. Roofless outbuilding at this end (perhaps formerly a house) of equivalent size and height, with 2 widely separated windows, has a doorway in the centre and 2 rectangular windows on each floor, those above slightly smaller, all these openings with monolith lintels and all now void. Rear: house has through-stones on 3 levels, small chamfered 1-light window to left at ground floor and similar stair-window in centre; L-shaped vertical joint with quoining to outbuilding (suggesting that it was built before the house was raised). | ||
| INTERIOR (seen through window): lateral stone partition wall to right of doorway, board partition to left; housepart to left has chamfered beam, exposed joists and fireplace with corbelled lintel. Forms group with West Scale (qv) approx. 100m north, and with bridge over Grisdale Beck (qv) approx. 50m east. | ||
