House, converted to public house and house in circa early C19 and back into private
house in circa mid C20. Stone rubble with dressed quoins. Possibly rebuilt on front
elevation with timber frame and slate hung with large irregular rag slates. Rear
elevation, partly timber frame above first floor level. Asbestos slate roof with
gable end on left and hipped end on right. Brick end stack on left, rendered
projecting end stack on right and projecting stone rubble rear lateral hall stack
with brick shaft.
Plan: original plan probably of 3 rooms with through passage; the inner room and
lower end heated by end stacks and the hall, to left of centre, heated by a rear
lateral stack. House partly remodelled in early C18 when the lower end may have
become a parlour. The passage has been widened, probably in the early C19 or earlier
with a stair on the right hand side of the passage comprising probably C18 and C19
reworked joinery. Back kitchen or bake house added to rear right in circa early C19,
the cloam oven surviving in the reduced rubble walls to rear. Datestone on rear
lateral stack 'I B B 1805' (Bunt family) suggesting that the stack was rebuilt in
early C19, possibly contemporary with the rebuilding of the front wall, and rear wall
above first floor level.

hanging. Window frames renewed in late C20 with 6-pane sashes. C20 door to left, 2

square newel to lower stage with deep moulded rail. Thicker circa C18 stick
