Island House

Island House is a defensible house, likely built in the early 17th century. It features thick, battered rubble walls that are now rendered, and has a stone-flagged roof. The building stands three storeys high and has two wide bays. The ground floor, which was originally a stable or byre, now has a central door with a plain stone surround. To the left of this door is a 16-pane sash window, with another sash window directly above it. The remaining windows are 20th-century pivoted casements, all with stone lintels and sills. There are chimneys at both ends of the house. On the right side, there is a similar door leading to steps that go up to a first-floor doorway, which now contains a 20th-century door. Next to this doorway, a curved bread oven projects from the wall. There are also small modern windows, including one located in an old fire-window opening. A 20th-century pent extension at the rear is not of interest.
