II
House, now byre. Late C17 altered probably in 2nd quarter of C18. Rubble with stone dressings, stone slate roof. 3 storeys, 2 wide bays. Off-centre inserted doorway with overlight between former 2-light chamfered mullioned windows, now blocked. 3-light chamfered mullioned window with old iron bars, and single-light window in chamfered surround, to 1st floor. 2nd floor has 2 single-light windows in chamfered surrounds. The 3-light window and the 2nd floor windows have horizontally-tooled dressings. Left return shows central ground floor door with chamfered surround, with corbels above for former projecting stack. Rear elevation shows central boarded door at 1st floor level with chamfered surround,and chamfer-surround window to left, both with horizontally-tooled dressings. Inserted door to right. Interior; original ground-floor doorway in south wall, now opening into adjacent barn, has chamfered surround and drawbar tunnel. 1st floor has been of stone flags carried on transverse beams, and has C18 fireplaces against end walls.
The house shows some bastle-like features but has relatively thin walls,c.f. Bunkershill and Windy Hall near Alston. (Ramm, McDowall & Mercer,'Shielings and Bastles' HMSO 1970, 74-5). The relatively large ground-floor windows suggest an early basement function other than as a byre.
