3 dwellings, formerly a single farmhouse. C17 or earlier. Roughcast cob on stone
plinth, gable end slate roof. Originally a 3-room, through-passage plan house, the
service end (now no 3) to the left of the passage, with a higher end extension that
returns to form a range of outbuildings forming an L-shaped plan overall. Service
end heated by internal end stack, hall and inner room by internal lateral rear
stacks, all with brick shafts. 2 storeys.
Exterior Front: former service end now largely obscured by a C20 projection
containing a kitchen, under a synthetic slate catslide. Between this and the
doorway to the through-passage are the remains of a stair turret with a first floor
2-light casement window. Otherwise a 3-window range, with 3-light casement windows
to first floor, and four 2-light casement windows to ground floor; 3 doorways, all
with planked doors. Both left hand and right hand ends retain one C19 casement
window. Rear: the wall of the service end is slightly recessed suggesting a
rebuilding: various late additions to ground floor, with 4 C19 casement windows
above.
Interior: Hall with deeply chamfered, unstopped cross ceiling beam; rear fireplace
blocked but parts of the timber lintel and jambs visible. Inner room with shallow
chamfered unstopped cross ceiling beam, fireplace with unchamfered lintel. Roof
trusses (visible in bedrooms) are straight. .
