early C19. Stone rubble walls, stucco at the front. Slate roof, gable ended to
front block, half hipped to rear wing. 2 gable end stacks to front block; right-hand
one is brick, left-hand one is projecting rubble. Rendered rubble lateral stack at

Originally probably 2-room-and-through-passage plan C17 house with left-hand room
heated by gable end stack and right-hand room heated by rear lateral stack, possibly
with newel stairs adjoining. Probably kitchen and service wing added behind left-
hand room in C18. In the early C19 the house was completely re-fronted, the left-

this stage or slightly later a lower 1 room plan extension was added at the right-

the centre and shallow rectangular projection beside it possibly for stairs.
