outbuilding and wall.
GV. II
Farmhouse. Late C17, including earlier C17 building to right of
porch; c. 1980 bay to left. Colourwashed render over cob and
stone; gabled slate roof; C19 brick end and ridge stacks; C17
external stone rear lateral stack. 3-unit plan with blocked
through-passage to right of central hall. 2 storeys; 5-window
range. Central bay slightly projects and has early C19 porch;
6-panelled door with dolphin knocker and overlight. Flat arches
over C20 three-light casements and late C19 three-light casement
to left of porch; early C19 horizontal-sliding sashes on first
floor, except C20 two-light casement to left of centre. Mid C19
outshut to rear. One-bay extension of c. 1980 to left. Interior:
room to left has stop-chamfered bressummer over open fireplace
and boxed beam; blocked open fireplace to centre. First floor
has late C17 moulded plaster cornices in two rooms to left of
stairs. Late C17 A-frame roof with pegged collars and ridge
purlin set into notched apexes. Subsidiary features: C20
extension to left is attached to early C19 one-storey
outbuilding, of slatestone with slate roof, which flanks
left-hand side of front garden. An early/mid C19 L-shaped wall
of slatestone, with ashlar coping, piers and iron gate, encloses
the front garden and is returned to the right end of the
farmhouse; at this point, the wall encloses a well. Wall
thicknesses and floor levels suggest that the unit to the right
of the porch is of earlier date.
