Farmhouse. Circa early C19. Shale rubble with granite quoins, sills jambstones and
lintels. Hipped scantle slate roof with circa C17 or C18 reused hand-made crested
clay ridge tiles, brick chimneys over side walls, scantle slated lean-to on right and
brick chimney over gable end of scantle-slated single storey former shippon set back
on far right.
Shallow double depth plan, 3 rooms wide including single storey integral dairy on
right. Large hearth in kitchen left, parlour right of middle with cross passage
between kitchen and parlour leading to stair. Shallow service room behind kitchen
and the shallow rooms behind the parlour and dairy are now a wide axial passage
linked to circa early-mid C19 shippon attached at rear right later converted to back
kitchen with large fireplace.
Two storeys. Nearly symmetrical 2 window east front but wider at left end because of
large kitchen stack and with extra bay for dairy, right. The doorway is central to
the fenestration of the 2-storey house part, 4 panel door, circa early C20
porch/conservatory. The windows both to house and dairy are original 16-pane
hornless sashes.
Interior is little altered since the C19. Stick baluster stair, some 2 panel doors,
some slate flag floors and a ventilated screen at the back of the dairy with lattice
ventilated door.
An unusual variation of a C19 farmhouse plan with internal dairy and adjoining
shippon, all surviving hardly altered since built.
