House. C17 with early C18 and C19 blocks to the right. Coursed
limestone rubble, freestone quoins and dressings, continuous
steep-pitched stone slate roof to the C17 and C18 blocks,
pantile to the C19 block, double brick stack to the left gable
end, moulded ashlar stack to the right gable end, brick stack
to the rear of the C18 block.
PLAN: 2-unit through-passage plan, the room to left having
been raised and remodelled in the C18; C19 pantiled lean-to
stable to the left; one room each to the C18 and C19
extensions to right.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys; 5-window range. The C17 block is stepped
slightly forward with 2 ovolo-moulded stone-mullioned 4-light
leaded windows at eaves level. A C20 porch covers the door to
the through passage. The C18 range has timber lintels to two
2-light leaded windows, that to the left is C20. Timber
lintels over C19/C20 casements to rear. One doorway to a
former stable range with mid C20 door and windows.
INTERIOR: the ground-floor rooms have panelled shutters and
window seats. A C18 flush 6-panelled door (formerly the front
door) inside the porch leads to the stone-flagged
through-passage; mostly C18 plank and panelled doors.
Timber-framed partition wall to the left of the
through-passage, the room to the left an early/mid C18
fireplace with moulded wood surround and a chamfered axial
beam is supported on a carved timber corbel set in the
partition wall: ceiling raised in C18/19.
On both floors the wall to rear side of the deep
chimney-breast has a concave curve, possibly a former newel
stair. Both the C17 and C18 roofs are 3-bays with collar-beam
trusses and wide elm floorboards to the attic, the later
having nailed collars.
The stone-flagged room to the right (west) has a chamfered
axial ogee-stopped beam set in a deep chimney-breast to a
Tudor-arched open fire with sunk spandrels.
To the left of the fire a doorway with old chamfered wood
lintel leads to a C18 kitchen block with a chamfered surround
to a former open fire in the rear wall and a slightly
chamfered axial beam.
A further C19 room to the right, probably a scullery, has
tongued-and-grooved panelling, a large dresser and a pump to
the front wall which draws water from a well in the front
garden. The pitch of the roof of this is section has been
raised, both structures remain.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: the lean-to stable to the east end has
tenoned purlins and an S-shaped brace from the wall. The rear
is floored with slots in the main beam suggesting that it was
formerly completely floored; some wooden railed sections to
feeding mangers remain; the floor is C19 high-fired black
ceramic tiles with raised squares.
