II

House, early C18th with C17th remains, much altered. Rendered rubble with slate roof. 2 storeys with attic. Facade has quoins with channeled rustication, continuous drip courses over ground and 1st floor windows, and a cyma moulded cornice gutter. The porch is gabled with a coping and 2 balls and a chamfered outer doorway with triangular head. On the lintel there is an inscription, difficult to read, but said by the VCH to be as follows: 'B.O. Michael Dovghtie 1605'. Inside the porch is a cupboard door, once in the dining room, inscribed 'EPM 1709'. The windows are sashed with no glazing bars in plain stone surrounds with 2 rebates and a chamfer. The ground-floor windows are larger, with 2 to the left of the porch and one to the right. The lst floor windows probably originally had a mullion and a transom, with 4 to the left and one to the right of the porch. Chimneys on the gables. The left-hand gable wall has, towards the rear, a one-light rebated and chamfered window, now unglazed and opening into a compartment divided from the dining room, possibly associated with an alteration in the fireplace arrangements. Under the apex is a circular chamfered opening to the attic. The rear wall has 2 projecting external chimney stacks, now with later Cl9th caps. Against the wall is a later extension. Inside no C17th features are visible.
