II

Farmhouse. Medieval origins, modified in early C17 and again in C19 and C20. Painted rubble slate; Welsh slate to front slope of roof, synthetic to rear. 3-room, cross-passage plan, the passage and lower end (to right) much reduced; continuous low outshut to rear. 2 storeys. Front: irregular 2-window range. Massive external lateral stack with set-offs, rendered to lower parts only. Pentice porch built around it with door to right. 2-light casement windows. Lean-to at right with doorway that probably marks the site of the former cross-passage. Rear: outshut continues across the site of the reduced lower end and consequently rises to a much higher level than the lean-to that now occupies the site. Left return with casement windows. INTERIOR: Left-hand room (parlour) with ovolo-moulded ceiling beam with stepped run-out stops; joists with scratch mouldings. Fireplace bressumer also has ovolo moulding and raised run-outs with curious incised decoration. Roof understood to be a C19 replacement.
