GV II

Farmhouse and attached barn-cum-shippon. House in 2 builds, probably late C18 and earlier C19; barn dated 1835. The main (later) range of the house is pebble-dashed with sandstone dressings and slate roof, the portion to the rear is of scored render with a stone slate roof, and the barn is of coursed squared sandstone rubble with a slate roof. Irregular plan with the earlier portion of the house forming a link between the south end of the barn and the rear of the main range, which is double-depth and faces south. The latter is 2 storeys and 2 windows, symmetrical, with rusticated quoins, 16-pane unhorned sashed windows with raised sills and moulded architraves, overhanging eaves and gable chimneys. Its west gable wall has a doorway towards the rear with a moulded architrave and a glazed and panelled door with margin panes, a 4-pane sashed window to the right, and oversailing verges with wavy bargeboards. The older portion, now forming a 2-window rear wing, has a glazed porch, and windows with altered glazing at ground floor and 4-pane sashes above. The barn range continued to the rear has an unusual longitudinally divided 4-bay plan with shippons and stables to the west and barn to the east: the west side has square-headed doorways in the centre and at each end, a 6-pane fixed window left of centre and a small window right of centre, a circular pitching hole (now glazed) over the central doorway and a datestone to the left of this inscribed: MA/ TA/ 1835. The east side (rear) has a waggon doorway in the centre.
