House. Late C17 single-cell with double pile 2-cell addition mid C19. C17
house has thin rubble stone and large rough-dressed quoins. C19 house is of
hammer-dressed stone. Both have stone slate roof. 2 storeys. C17 house has
double chamfered mullioned windows of 2 lights to ground floor to north east,
with chamfered mullioned windows of 2 lights over. Doorway has heavy lintel and
chamfered surround. South west facade has 4-light double chamfered mullioned
window with a single chamfered light and one of 2 lights to 1st floor. Similar
doorway to rear forming a through passage. Coped gable. It would appear that
originally the house was more than one cell, but the C19 house has removed the
evidence except for a fireplace with corbelled jambs, chamfered surround with
decorated lintel inscribed A S F. This fireplace survives inside the rear
1737
