An early 18th-century farmhouse extended in the 19th century with the addition of a north range. It is built in a roughcast stone with ashlar dressings and covered with a slate roof typical for the area. The building has 2 storeys, with the original part consisting of a symmetrical front of five bays, with the gable end of the extension forming a 6th bay. The doorway is rather unique for Seascale, with a moulded architrave, pulvinated frieze, and a fanlight. The windows are cross-mullioned with hood moulds. The rear is an outshut, with a gabled bay, and a gabled stair bay. The north range has a front of 4 bays, and 3 datestones on the building.
A 19th century water tower built for the Furness Railway Company, standing in the middle of what was once its goods yard. The stone tower has a corbelled-out conical slate roof with a finial, has three stages, and features mullioned windows. The south side entrance has a shouldered lintel.
A sandstone church with a slate roof and coped gables, built in the 1890s after a design of C.J. Ferguson. The church as a nave and a chancel in a single vessel, a south porch, and a north vestry. Characteristic is the gabled bellcote at the west end. Worship is Anglican on 1st and 3rd Sundays at 11AM and Methodist on 2nd and 4th Sundays at 10:30 AM
