Earlier 18th century. 2-storey house, long N and S elevations
with modern projecting bays and single-storey outhouse wing
to E. Approximately 4ft thick end and fine-bearing off-centre
gables, lateral walls approximately 3ft 6ins. Rendered
walling, battered boulder basecourse. S elevation 5
near-regular bays. To centre full-height projecting
piend-roofed porch bay, an addition circa 1950. All windows
with painted raised margins, sash and case with plate glass
glazing.
N ELEVATION: boldly projecting modern full-height bay,
off-centre to left with piend roof. Single light windows,
sash and case 12-pane glazing.
Steeply pitched roof with good graded slates. Stocky end and
axial coped stacks with thackstanes, end skews.
To E, single-storey painted rubble wing containing cheese
store and outhouses. Windows with upper portion small-pane
glazed, lower part with slot ventilators. Piended slate
roofs with sandstone ridge.
The unusual placing of windows to S elevation opposite
internal gable may suggest the W gable is a later addition.
However, the wall thicknesses and window dimensions are
constant throughout. Fairgirth House (Colvend and Southwick
Parish) has a similar ground plan with a large internal gable
with cooking hearth. Both are associated with ecclesiastical
sites.
