History

Early C19 farmhouse with integrated cart bay, stables and hayloft, and including associated dairy outshut and brewhouse block. The buildings have been empty for a number of years.

Exterior

Two-storey farmhouse with contemporary and adjoining cart bay and stable accommodation forming a long, integrated rectangular range. Of whitened rubble construction with slate roofs, the house and cart bay continuously-roofed, the stable section, to the L, stepped-up slightly. The farmhouse section has an end chimney to the R gable. Near-central entrance with boarded door in a wooden frame and an exposed timber lintel shared with an adjacent window to the R. The latter is a 12-pane sliding sash and there are similar windows to the L of the entrance and to the upper floor, under the eaves; most panes are broken. To the L of this is a wide cart bay with segmental arch having rough-dressed limestone voussoirs; timber lintels below. A 2 light window under the eaves lights a loft above. The loft is accessed via a flight of stone steps ascending from L to R, to the L of the cart bay; boarded and framed upper entrance.

Stepped-up to the L, and adjoining flush with the main block, is the stable range. This has 3 entrances with cambered heads, that to the L the tallest, and a similar window with vertical wooden slatting to the L; square, unglazed window opening to the upper floor at R and a boarded loading bay to the rendered L gable end. The house section has a one-and-a-half storey dairy outshut to the rear of its right-hand section, with entrance and window to the ground floor and 2 further windows under the eaves; glazing mostly lost. Adjoining the house section to the R is a single-storey brewhouse block with brick end chimney. The stable section has 2 rubble outshuts to the rear, that to the L slated, that to the R with corrugated iron roof.

Interior

Plain joists and stopped-chamfered, limed main beams to ceilings, with earth floors to the farmhouse. Simple original wooden fireplace with cambered head to main ground floor room.
