sandstone rubble; dressed Hoar Edge Grit sandstone to centre and left
at front; C20 machine tile roof. Irregular baffle-entry U-plan with
projecting gabled cross-wing to left, probably formerly H-plan with
right-hand cross-wing partly demolished c.1810. Two storeys and attic.
Chamfered plinth to centre and left-hand cross-wing, early C19 eaves
with carved stone brackets; external stone end stack (probably formerly
ridge stack) to right with C19 brick top stage and external dressed
brown sandstone or siltstone lateral stack to rear also with C19 brick
top. 2-window front; late C19 and mid-C20 two- and 3-light wooden

datestone in apex of cross-wing gable: "1810". Interior: chamfered

cross-wing; large open fireplace in central ground-floor room with
dressed sandstone reveals, and three C17 cupboards in wall to left
with panelled doors, one dated: "16:W:R:E:77". The eaves were raised
probably in 1810 (see change in masonry) and a former right-hand cross-

projections to right with return of C17 chamfered plinth).
