Farmhouse. Dated 1628. Coursed and squared sandstone with
timber-framing internally, and plain-tiled roofs. N wall, and
N part of cross-wing rendered over brick.
EXTERIOR: 2-storeyed with attics, T-plan. Re-modelled entrance
front, with original doorway now blocked to right, originally
forming an end-lobby entrance against the stack. Date on
lintel of this doorway. Present entrance towards centre of
main range, and further entrance also now blocked, in
cross-wing to rear. Original fenestration survives intact on
southern elevation: 5-light mullioned windows on each floor in
main range and gable of wing, and 2-light firewindow to left
of main range. Some modifications to the internal layout,
although the details of the original plan remain, with hall or
house-place in main range and 2 rooms in cross-wing. Bressumer
of the original fireplace in the W wall of the hall survives,
and the present corridor running the length of the house to
the N, probably incorporates the heck wall adjacent to the
original entrance.
