Farm building, originally 2 houses, late C17th, early C18th and late
C18th. Sandstone rubble. Eastern house has slate roof, western one a stone
slate roof. 2 storeys. South wall of eastern house rebuilt, probably late
C18th, using watershot masonry and with C17th window dressings. The
windows are rebated and chamfered. On the ground floor the left-hand one
is of 2 lights. The other two were of 4 lights, but have only their
central king mullions remaining. The left-hand window on the 1st floor has
had its mullion removed. The right-hand one is now blocked, was formerly
of 4 lights, and has a king mullion remaining. Stone gutter brackets.
Gables have copings with kneelers, and chimneys with weathered offsets and
moulded cornices. The western house adjoins to the left and is slightly
lower. It has rebated and chamfered windows and a drip course. On the
ground floor is one formerly of 3 lights, now with no mullions, and 2 of 2
lights, the right-hand one covered by a later lean-to. On the 1st floor
is one formerly of 3 lights, now with a mullion removed. To the right is
one of 2 lights. At the left is a farm building which has a door with
plain reveals. On the north side the eastern house has a stair wing which
has a blocked cross window in its west wall, once lighting the stair. The
north wall of the main part of the house has a door with moulded surround
and a lintel with carved decoration and inscription: 'WEA 1770'. The
figures have been altered and were probably originally: '1707'. The
western house has 2 2-light rebated and chamfered 1st floor windows. At
the left on the ground floor is a door with long-and-short jambs. This
originally entered against a baffle, as the firehood bressumer remains
with a mortise for a heck post. The oak roof trusses have collars and tie
beams. Inside, the eastern house has cased beams, a C18th fireplace with
moulded surround and mantel, and a spice cupboard whose carved door was
removed c.1980. A court cupboard dated 1695 was removed at the same time.
The upper flight of a stair with turned balusters remains.
