House. Early C19 remodelling of older house. Rendered over cob
and stone; hipped thatch roof; brick internal and end stacks.
U-plan with rear wings flanking small service courtyard. 2
storeys; 3-window range to main central range flanked by plain
bays. Main range has flat rendered arches over 2-light casements
with glazing bars. Bay to left, which extends as rear left wing,
has C20 door and veranda made of salvaged timbers brought from
the training ship HMS Revenge. Bay to right has flat roof. Main
entry to rear. Interior: early C19 panelled doors; dog-leg with
landing staircase with stick balusters and turned balusters;
early C19 fireplaces to right. History: a terrier of 1764
described the house in detail as a 3-unit plan with central hall,
little of which has survived; wall thicknesses suggest that the
original house remains in the centre and was extended by the
addition of flanking early C19 wings which extend as rear wings
making a U-plan.
