II

Former farmhouse and cottage, later public house and hostel, reverted back to domestic use in the early-C21. C17, in 2 builds, with large C19 addition; altered. Sandstone random rubble with large quoins, stone slate roof (Welsh slate roof to the addition).
PLAN: the C17 portion is L-plan formed by an east-west range with a projecting wing at the west end and a small gabled extension in the angle and flush with the wing; the C19 additions are a parallel range attached to the rear and a cross-wing at the east end.
EXTERIOR: the C17 portion, 2 low storeys and 1:1:2 windows, with coupled unequal gables to the left, has a doorway in the centre of the gabled portion with a simple slab cornice, flanked by 2 altered rectangular windows on each floor. The set-back range to the right has an altered or inserted doorway at the right-hand end, 4 small C20 windows at ground floor and 2 altered windows above. Small chimney on right-hand slope of right-hand gable. The left return wall of the wing has a plain doorway at ground floor and 2 altered or inserted windows above. The C19 additions are 2 higher storeys, in simplified Jacobean style, with a 3-window east front which has a C20 lean-to porch in the centre and vertical-rectangular windows with raised surrounds and hood-moulds (sashed without glazing bars at ground floor and top-hung casements above); a rendered south gable with one similar window on each floor (lacking hood-moulds), and a north facade similar to the east front.
INTERIOR: the east wing has 3 massive king-post roof trusses with raked struts, suggesting that it was formerly part of a larger building of higher status.
