History

Probably mid C19 farmhouse, not marked on the Tithe Map of the parish, 1842, but probably built shortly afterwards on part of the Glyn Demense, owned by William Ormesby Gore Esq.

Exterior

Two storey, 3-window farmhouse with single storey agricultural range in-line at L (S) end and single pitched roofed addition at N. Built of mortared rubble masonry incorporating large stones in the build and as quoins and lintels. Slate roof with stone coping at S gable of house; narrow rectangular rendered gable stacks with dripstones and capping.
The house has good Georgian vernacular character. Slightly offset facade, with boarded door under a shallow overlight with glazing bars, the windows are 16-pane hornless sashes with slate sills. The agricultural wing has the doorway offset to the R (N), with a single window to R and 3 windows to left; windows are 8-pane casements over shutter ventilators. The single pitched roof addition at the N gable has 2 wide boarded doors in the N wall.

Interior

The interior was not inspected at the time of the survey.

Reasons for Listing
