• II

House , 1741. Slobbered rubble with corrugated iron roof. 2 storeys, 3 bays. Original windows have flush chamfered mullions. On the ground floor the left-hand bay has one of 3 lights and the middle bay one of two lights. On the 1st floor these bays have windows formerly of 2 lights, with mullions removed. The right-hand bay, of the same build but probably a converted farm building, has windows with plain reveals and a door to the left of the ground-floor window, having a segmental arch to a blocked wide doorway above both. Between bays one and 2 is a porch with a door in its left-hand return wall. Above the porch is a oval plaque inscribed: 'TAA 1741'. Chimneys on left-hand gable and to right of middle bay. Re-set over a blocked doorway in the rear wall is a datestone of unusual design. It is inscribed 'TE AD 1639' and has carved representations of a man with a staff, animals, and a tree, perhaps a hunting scene. The barn to the right of the house has, in its front wall, a wide doorway with plain reveals and sliding door. To its left is a narrower doorway with plain reveals.
