remodelled, with addition, in C19. Roughly coursed sandstone
rubble with quoins, the front of the main range roughcast and
painted; stone slate roof. T-plan formed by 2-unit main range
(remodelled in C19) on north-south axis with C17 outshut to
rear of northern unit and store continued at north end.
EXTERIOR: main range, 2 storeys and 3 windows, almost
symmetrical, has central doorway with pentice canopy, 4-pane
sash to left, coupled 4-pane sashes to right, three 4-pane
sashes above, and gable chimney to left. Earlier portion to
right, 2 higher storeys, has one 4-pane sash on each floor
close to the junction, blocked doorway to right of this, 2
windows to the right, the second smaller and now blocked
(perhaps a former fire-window); and gable chimneys. Rear:
prominent outshut of 2 low storeys has 3 former 2-light
mullioned windows with chamfered surrounds but lacking
mullions: one on each floor to the left and a stair-window to
the right, the upper with 12-pane fixed glazing and the others
with stone-slate drip-bands. Store to left has (inter alia) a
tall round-headed doorway and an altered square window above.
INTERIOR: housepart in 2nd bay has large built-in cupboard
with one large 2-panel door on butterfly hinges and above this
a small square carved door with raised lettering "MT 1675"
over a decorated diamond (perhaps a re-located spice cupboard
door).
