short originally unheated 2-storey projecting wing, circa mid C17, with C19 fireplace
in lower side wall with shaft removed. Entrance to farmhouse inserted leading
staight into kitchen room at lower end. House may have continued at lower end where
the stonework in a projecting wing of the adjoining barn, now converted into a
dwelling, appears contemporary. However, there is little evidence. Further wing
added at higher end to rear in mid C19.
