House, originally farmhouse. Circa 1840-1850 (not marked on the Tithe map). Stone
rubble walls. Hipped slate roof. Rendered brick stack at left-hand end and axial
stack to main block ; similar end stack to right-hand wing.
Double depth plan of front block with parallel rear wings of equal size. At front
is large heated room to left with stairhall to its right and smaller heated room
beyond. At the rear of this block is a large heated room to the right. Probably
service rooms to its left and in rear wings.
2 storeys with cellar. Almost symmetrical 3-window front of original small paned 3-
light casements with stone arches above. Central bay breaks forward slightly with
porch supported at front on wooden pillars which has deep moulded cornice and hipped
roof. 2 parallel wings run back from either side each projects outwards slightly
from the main block and also preserves the original windows. At the rear a wall
joins the 2 wings with a central doorway forming a small courtyard which has had
leantos built onto the house walls.
Interior not inspected but believed to contain original features such as staircase
and fireplaces.
This building has a very unaltered exterior and appears to preserve much of its
original plan form.
