Farmhouse, now house. Early C17, possibly early C16 with C17 alterations. Probably
early C19 addition and further mid-to late C19 alterations and additions. Cement-
rendered to front and sides. Stone rubble to outshut at rear. Adjoining stabe
stable some cob to rear but mainly rubble with red-brick dressings. Gable-ended
corrugated-asbestos roof, with catslide over outshuut to rear. Corrugated-iron roof
over stable. Rendered stacks with C19 red brick top stages, stack to front with
chamfered offsets.
Plan and development: Probably former 3-room and cross-passage plan, facing south,
consisting of hall to right with external lateral stack to front and service room to
left with external end stack. Rooms probably divided by cross passage. If the house
were formerly an open hall there was possibly also an inner room (since demolished)
at the upper (right-hand) end of the hall, and the first floor and stacks are
probably C17 additions. Probably early C19 two-storey continuous outshut at rear and
1-storey lean-to to right. Alternatively the house might always have only a 2-room
plan. Late C19 1-storey stable adjoining to left. 2-storeys with 1-storey lean-to
and stable.
Exterior: Asymmetrical 3-window front; late C19 or early C20 2-and 3-light wooden
casements, ground-floor hall window to right with small panes. C20 boarded door to
left of front stack. Right-hand lean-to to right with doorway to front. Outshut at
rear has first-floor 2-light wooden casement to left (left-hand light leaded),
boarded loft door to right with old strap hinges. 2 ground-floor 2-light wooden
casements with segmental brick heads, and central C20 boarded door with segmental
brick head. Stable adjoining house to left (west) has segmental-headed window
opening to left and segmental headed 2-leaf boarded door to right.
Interior: Access to interior not possible at time of survey (October 1987), but some
interior features in ground floor rooms noted. Ceiling in hall to right with
heavily-moulded cross beam and half beam to right, and plain joists. Service room to
left with open fireplace and chamfered spine beam.
