II
House. 1825 with earlier origins. Built for Francis Simpson. White brick in Flemish bond, Westmorland slate roof. One wing demolished, leaving main dining room and former service wing on T-shaped plan. Two sections to main facade each of two storeys with two first floor windows, that to right being taller and having an attic. To right: canted bay to ground floor with full-length unequal fifteen-pane sash flanked by sashes with glazing bars, with channelled lintels. Moulded modillion cornice. First floor sashes with glazing bars. Moulded cornice. C20 dormer window in hipped roof. Eaves stacks to left and rear range. To left: two unequal nine-pane sashes. First floor is a later addition and has sashes with glazing bars. Moulded cornice. Left end stack.

Interior contains trusses of earlier roof, now superseded by C19 roof. Earlier roof appears to be of upper cruck construction with collar and cruck spurs. Apex not visible.

The site is said to be that of earlier manor house, and it is therefore probable that the house of 1825 is built round the earlier house. Repairs to the house are said to have revealed an earlier brick structure cased by 1825 brickwork.
