History

A cruck-framed hall house converted to a stone-built storeyed house c1700. The cow house is said to retain part of its original timber framing.

Exterior

A 1½-storey house of rubble stone, and steep slate roof with stone stack to the L and reduced stone stack to the R. It has a boarded door to the L, 2-light and 1-light windows further R and a 2-light roof dormer. The gable end has a 2-light window inserted in the lower storey, and 2-light window in the gable. The rear of the house has a 6-pane fixed window and small 2-light window to the R. Part of the rear wall on the R side is rebuilt in blockwork.

The former cow house is mainly rubble stone, part rebuilt in blockwork to the front, under a corrugated iron roof. It has 4 boarded doors, of which the R-hand is to a cross passage and has a small window above. The loft, which is weatherboarded, has 2 openings. The rear is part rebuilt in brick. To the L end is a boarded door to the cross passage.

Interior

The house retains its lobby-entry plan of c1700. The hall has 2 spine beams and the fireplace has a stop-chamfered lintel and bread oven. Evidence of an earlier bread oven is in the cross passage. Between hall and inner room is a post-and-panel partition, above which the partition is timber framed in the attic. The roof trusses have collar beams with raking struts.
