hipped ends. End and axial stacks with brick shafts.
Plan: Front range of 2-room and central cross passage plan, the left hand room
heated by an end stack and the right hand room by an axial stack on the rear wall.
Original stair in projection to rear of passage. The rear wing is slightly off set,
to the rear of the right hand room, and is of 2-room plan heated by axial and end
stacks. This wing was partly used as a mill in the C19.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Symmetrical 5-window front. The masonry has been partly
renewed on the right hand side and the lintels above, the windows have been replaced.
Central entrance with 6-panel door and fanlight above, the doorcase replaced in the
late C20. Four 12-pane sashes on ground floor and 5 above, the C20 sashes probably
replacing early C18 sashes with heavy glazing bars. Moulded eaves with renewed
dentilled cornice. Rear wing of 2 storeys and attic with a 4:1 window front, the
openings altered and a loading bay inserted in the C19 on the far right.
Interior has good early C18 detailing. Left hand room has complete raised and
fielded panelling and shutters, a circa 1870s chimney-piece and C19 door. Right hand
room heated by fireplace in rear wall, probably replacing a fireplace originally in
the end wall. C19 joinery. Early C18 dog-leg stair to rear of passage with open
string, turned balusters and deep moulded and ramped rail, wreathed around a cluster
of 4 balusters which function as the newel; early C18 moulded cornice above.
Several raised and fielded 6-panel doors, several reset. Remains of simple C18
chimney-piece in rear wing. Reset C18 window with heavy glazing bars in rear
outshut.
Roof structure: Early C18 roof with principals halved, lap-jointed and pegged at
apices to form flush joints. Lap-jointed and pegged collars. The collars probably
replacing tie-beams in the rear wing which were truncated when the floor level was
altered.
Including dressed stone wall enclosing small garden in front of the house; it is a
low retaining wall with higher side walls and a gateway at the centre.
