The Old House

The Old House is a house dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with 19th-century alterations. It is constructed of sandstone rubble, limewashed on the main block and roughcast on the wing, and features Welsh slate roofs with rebuilt brick chimney stacks. The main block includes a wing with a cross passage on the left side. The main block is three stories tall and was originally four bays, but now has two 19th-century openings on each floor. It has a rubble plinth and large, roughly-squared quoins. The windows have been replaced with 16-pane sashes, and the top-floor windows are blocked with projecting stone sills. The roof is steeply pitched with swept eaves and end stacks.

The two-story, two-bay wing has a cross-passage doorway with a replaced door and a patterned fanlight set in an open-pedimented doorcase. It also features a replaced casement, a 16-pane sash, and a late 20th-century archway to the left. This wing has a steeply pitched roof with swept eaves and a tall central ridge stack. At the rear of the main block is a full-height gabled wing that has blocked pigeon holes and alighting ledges in the gable. Inside the main block, there are large chamfered ceiling beams on the ground floor, three roof trusses with adzed principal rafters, halved collars, and a double row of purlins.
