elevation: ground floor has a 3-light casement with a plank weathering, a
single-light casement and a square C19 multi-paned metal window with a cambered
head. There are two gabled dormers with moulded bargeboards and 2-light leaded
casements. Entrance probably in original position in east bay and has a C19
gabled canopy on shaped brackets and a ledged and battened door with strap
hinges. Interior: the east bay has two large lateral chamfered ceiling beams,
a large blocked fireplace and a winder staircase. Byre: timber-framed on
rubble base, weatherboarded with corrugated iron roof. Two-and-a-half framed
bays, the half-bay adjoins the east end of the farmhouse and encloses the
chimney. Two levels. Framing: three panels from sill to wall-plate (two
rows of panels at lower level and one row at upper level). No trusses visible
externally). South elevation has a gabled dormer with a 2-light casement
adjacent to the farmhouse, and a central doorway. Interior: there is an
intermediate queen-post truss and also a collar and tie-beam truss with three
struts adjacent to the chimney. The purlins are renewed. There are re-used
sections of chamfered timber in the ceiling of the half-bay. The north side
of the half-bay has been incorporated into the farmhouse and has a large
fireplace with a bread oven. The rest of the byre has a cobbled floor and
C19 timber stalls, mangers and brick troughs. (RCHM, Herefs, Vol III, 1934,
