The traditional buildings are of a 18th and late 19th or early 20th century date. They comprise of a substantial farmhouse with attached outbuilding to the south-west and small outbuilding to the north-east. To the north is the site of a small square building documented as existing in the 19th century. The two-storey farmhouse and attached outbuilding are built from coursed limestone blocks. The farmhouse has a ceramic tile roof and the outbuilding has a stone slate roof. The farmhouse and outbuilding were built sometime before 1807, the date of the earliest available map of the area. The building to the north-east of the farmhouse was built sometime between 1898 and 1922. The small square building that stood to the north of the farmhouse was built sometime between 1807 and 1853.
