Farmhouse, with attached barn. Probably late C17 or early C18
(the barn earlier but with roof repaired following fire in
C20); C19 lean-to at west end recently raised to 2 storeys and
lean-to added to that. Roughly coursed large rubble with
quoins, the house with remains of whitewash and the extension
of random rubble; stone slate roof to the house, slate roof to
barn.
The HOUSE has a single-depth plan of 2 very unequal units, on
an east-west axis facing north, with the extension and lean-to
at the west end; and the barn continued at the east end. Two
storeys and 2 windows, the left gable built over the end of
the barn. The ground floor has a small gabled porch offset to
the left (either recent or rebuilt), a small 1-light window to
the left and 2 small 4-pane sashes to the right (the 2nd
smaller), and the upper floor has 2 small 6-pane sashes; all
the windows have irregular stone lintels painted black, and
all the sashes have exposed boxes. The extension to the right
has a 4-pane fixed window at ground floor, and a recent
lean-to addition to the gable wall. Rebuilt ridge chimney at
junction with extension. The rear wall incorporates a massive
boulder near the west end, above which there is a small
fire-window; and there is a small pantry window near the east
end. INTERIOR: stone partition wall to left of doorway,
lateral beam to right of doorway and underdrawn ceiling to
west of that; quarter-turn staircase in rear left corner;
narrow service end to east with former pantry now converted as
bathroom.
The BARN to the left has a doorway at the junction, a square
window next to this, a former wagon doorway in the centre with
rubble voussoirs, now blocked and reduced, and a
segmental-headed wagon doorway to the left with similar rubble
voussoirs. Rear: house has small fire-window at west end,
small pantry window at east end, and 2 windows above.
