Formerly a farmhouse, now a house: c.1700 for Joseph Malbron with late eighteenth and twentieth century alterations. Irregular bonded purple-red brick on rubble sandstone plinth. Kerridge stone-slate roof, stone ridge and two brick chimneys. Two plus-storey, symmetrical seven-bay front. Central five-bays under triangular gable. Double sawtooth brick bands at first and second floor. Windows are twentieth century twelve-pane sashes with soldier arched heads on lower two storeys and nine-pane windows in the gable. These replace two-light tall chamfered stone mullions one of which survives in each side. Blocked elliptical light cut in a stone block in apex of gable. Carved twentieth century wooden doorcase with broken segmental pediment. Small one-storey part to right has some small timber framing and may belong to earlier house.

Interior: Nearly all twentieth century but using original plan. An early brick house in this rubble stone area and interesting mixture of the polite and vernacular of the period.
