chamber above probably rebuilt in early C19. Stone rubble with painted render on
rear elevation. Renewed scantle slate roof with gabled ends to main range. Renewed
scantle slate roof to remodelled lower range with hipped lower end. Scantle slate
roof with gable ends to rear kitchen range. Projecting stone rubble rear lateral

end by a gable end stack. At the lower end of this 2-room range is an early C19
range comprising an entrance hall with stair in projection to rear and room at the
lower end heated by an end stack. A kitchen range projects to the rear of this C19
range forming an overall 'L' shaped plan. The circa C17 chamfered timber lintel over
the blocked entrance leading from the kitchen wing into the C19 range together into
the C17 ovolo-moulded timber lintel over the doorway leading from the C19 range
through the lower gable end of the main range would appear to indicate that the C19
range replaces an earlier range.
