II*
House. "WA 1678" (William Atherton) on door lintel. Hammer-
dressed stone with graduated stone slate roof. T-shaped
baffle-entry plan with 2 storeys (3-storey crosswing) and a
2-storey porch. Quoins. Bay 1 projects as a gabled crosswing
having 5-light double-chamfered ovolo-moulded stone mullion
windows with hoodmoulds on each of 3 floors. One of the
quoin stones is inscribed 17 PCM 23, perhaps recording the
date when the top storey was added to the crosswing. Bay 2
has 2 similar windows and bay 3 a porch with coped gable and
kneelers. Both inner and outer doorways have heavy ovolo-
moulded timber jambs and the original studded door survives.
3-light mullion window to first floor of porch and an oculus
within the gable. 1, 2 and 4-light windows to left return. 4
arched and 2 circular lights to right return. Rear is
rendered and has small C20 addition. Brick gable chimney
stack. Interior: the house-part has a large inglenook
fireplace with ovolo-moulded bressumer beam. Similarly
moulded floor beams were shortened when a staircase was
inserted. The principal first floor rooms also have ovolo-
moulded beams. Built-in panelled oak cupboards. Several
original doors. The house is a fine and largely unaltered
example of C17 domestic architecture.
