History

Probably 1728, formerly house and attached barn/byre, the latter now partially demolished.

Exterior

Two storeys, single pile, painted rubble stone, slate roof. Two squared rubble end stacks, two eaves dormers to front elevation, modern lean-to porch. Date stone now obscured in porch roof space. Small-paned, iron-framed windows under brick cambered heads.

Interior

Much period detail including fine plank and muntin screen dividing the two main ground-floor rooms; chamfered head and base rail, chamfered muntins and round headed doorway. Other room partitions are of heavy pegged studs with woven lath infill. Exposed beams with scroll stops, one supported on a moulded bracket fixed to the fireplace lintel. Large open fireplace with bread oven, smaller parlour fireplace both with scroll stopped timber lintels. Heavy boarded and battened doors, flagstone floors, later stair with squared newel, stick balusters and boarded underside. [Carvings on the fireplace lintel of a bunch of grapes and the date 1728 are said to have been made in the 1950s.]

Reasons for Listing
