Shop, originally farmhouse. C17 possibly incorporating some earlier fabric with C18
addition and C19 alterations. Rendered stone rubble walls with gable ended asbestos
slate roof, barn addition has half-hipped grouted slate roof. Two rubble stacks,
one projecting from right-hand gable end, an axial stack to left of centre, probably
later.
Original plan altered by conversion to shop, at present the original part consists
of 2 main rooms, each heated by gable end stack. There may formerly have been a
passage between the 2 and a further unheated room to the left of the left-hand one
(the roof-line continues beyond the stack). which was superceeded by the barn
extension built at right angles probably in the C18. The shop now occupies the
left-hand room.
2 storeys. Asymmetrical 3 window front. The 2 right-hand 1st floor windows are C19
2-light casements with small panes in gabled dormers. The 1st floor left-hand
window is similar but probably C20 with no dormer. On ground floor to left is
possibly C18 3-light casements with glazing bars. At centre is 3 light C19 casement
with small panes and a similar 2 light window to its right. At left of centre are
C20 double plank doors. Lean-to C19 porch built onto front of right hand end with
C20 part-glazed door and an outshut to its right. Probably C18 barn addition
projects at front of left-hand end, with half-hipped roof and very small window
under the eaves.
Interior: the right-hand room has insubstantial chamfered cross beams, stops
indiscernible. Original fireplaces are concealed. Roof timbers inaccessible may be
of interest, those in the barn are pegged and lapped - probably C18.
