Description
Arrowsmith House is a house dated 1700 on the porch, but it is believed to be substantially older. It is constructed of whitewashed stone with some brick and features a steeply pitched roof made of corrugated sheet covering thatch, along with boxed eaves. The house has one ridge chimney and one gable chimney. It follows a four-bay baffle-entry plan with the gable facing the road and consists of two storeys. The exterior showcases irregular masonry with a plinth and quoins.
At the junction of the second and third bays, there is a two-storey gabled porch with an offset doorway to the left, which has a hoodmould, moulded jambs, and a head. Above the door, on the first floor, is a two-light stone mullion window inscribed with "17 + OO" and featuring a hoodmould. The front windows are small and irregular, including two small square-mullioned windows with three and two lights to the left of the porch at ground floor, and a similar window with six small lights under the eaves on the first floor. To the right, there are four- and two-light wooden casements of varying sizes, along with a small four-light casement under the eaves.
The end and rear walls have additional stone mullion windows: three on the left, one on the right, and two at the back (one located under the eaves). The rear also features various other windows and a rear porch with a monopitched roof and a side door.
Inside, the house retains an exceptionally complete array of original features, including back-to-back inglenook fireplaces, ceiling beams, timber-framed partitions, doors, and a spiral newel stair. According to a modern plaque over the door, it is said that Saint Edmund Arrowsmith S.J., who was martyred at Lancaster in 1628, offered mass in this house, and an upper room is still used for this purpose.
