Farmhouse. C17, possibly incorporating earlier work. Mostly stone, but with some
cob to rear, roughcast, under gabled-end slate roof with crested roof tiles.
Formerly a 3-room, through-passage plan; there was a lower end wing but this has
been demolished and the lower end room truncated (information from present
occupier); the present rear wing appears to be C19, enlarged and partially rebuilt
in the late C20. Axial stack heats higher end of hall (and now also the parlour):
parlour originally heated by front stack, now dismantled. Brick shafts. 2-storeys.
Front: 4-window range, 2 and 3-light casement windows to both floors look C20.
Brick, slate-roofed lean-to to left occupies side of former parlour stack; brick,
slate-roofed porch to right of centre.
Left hand elevation: C19 windows to end of main range with brick arches and
keystones.
Interior: 2 cross beams to both hall and parlour, chamfered with double ovolo-
moulding and fillet, the higher end beam moulded only to one side; chamfered jamb
remains from doorway between the 2 rooms; chamfered lintels to both fireplaces; 3-
light timber window, now internal to hall passage, with chamfered surround and
mullions, and latticed leading. Chamber above hall with plaster ceiling, ovolo-
moulded panels and a cornice of fleur-de-lis; no central figures. 4 crucks,
probably all jointed, although only one clearly so. Roof space ceiled.
