History

A cruck house of the C15 or C16, partially surviving in farm outbuildings. A stone chimney was inserted (C16/17?) in what may have been the cross-passage position; a small chimney was also formed in the north gable; the house was finally given stone walls and incorporated in the farm buildings (possibly when the present farmhouse was built in the mid C19).

Exterior

Farm outbuilding in local shaley quasi-rubble stonework, mostly with asbestos sheet roof covering. Part of early external chimney stack survives in the north gable.

Interior

A two-bay survival of what was probably a three- or four-bay cruck house. Two cruck frames remain. The northern frame is complete with a collar beam and a yoke, the blades abutting at the apex in the usual Denbighshire detail; tie beam with wattle and daub panels above and with the mortices of a lost post-and-panel partition visible in the soffit, the arris chamfered over the panel positions. This tie beam is linked to the north gable by a chamfered and stopped longitudinal beam.

The southern surviving frame is incomplete, having been cut to admit a later central chimney and cut at the feet. The chimney serves a large fireplace facing north, with timber bressummer.

A later fireplace in the north gable has been walled up.

Reasons for Listing

Listed for interior interest as substantial remains of domestic cruck construction with inserted chimney.
