Intack House And Barn Adjoining To North

Intack House, dating from the late 17th century, is constructed of sandstone rubble and features a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys, with the front wall largely obscured by a later lean-to addition. To the left of this addition is a single bay that includes a 2-light chamfered mullioned window on the ground floor and a similar modern copy above. Beyond a straight joint is another bay featuring a 2-light chamfered mullioned window on the first floor and a door with plain reveals below. The house has end chimneys and at the rear, there are irregularly spaced chamfered mullioned windows. The left side has a one-light fire window, followed by a bay with 2-light windows, a former stair window, and another bay with 2-light windows. To the right, beyond a straight joint, is a bay with windows that have plain reveals.

Inside, the right-hand room contains a modern beam that replaces a firehood bressummer, and features a shouldered fireplace of 18th-century style with a recess for a spice cupboard to its left. A blocked door in the front wall suggests a possible end-lobby-entry plan. On the first floor, there is a central upper cruck truss, with its feet tied by a ground-floor ceiling beam. The house is distinctive for its adherence to the local 2-cell plan with dressed stone windows, although it is quite small and has a first floor that is partly within the roof space. The straight joints indicate that the house was added to the barn, with one bay of the barn converted to form part of the house in the mid-18th century. The barn itself appears to have been extended from right to left twice. At the far left, the latest addition features a wide entrance with a segmental head. To its right is a blocked 17th-century one-light window, followed by two doors with plain reveals. Further right, in the earliest section, is a tall entrance with a timber lintel, and inside this part are two tie beam trusses.
