Skull House

Skull House is a house that likely dates from the late 17th century, with earlier elements, and has been altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of pebbledashed brick and stone, featuring remnants of a cruck frame, and has an artificial stone roof. The north wall displays a central two-storey gabled section with a recessed six-light chamfered mullioned window, while the other windows have plain reveals. To the left of this section is a shallow window, and above it on the first floor is a 20th-century casement window. There are single-storey wings on both the left and right sides; the left wing has a door to the right of a window, and the right wing has a door to the left of its window. Chimneys are located to the right of the left wing and towards the rear of the ridge of the middle range. Attached to the east gable wall of the left wing is a large water trough carved from a single block of sandstone.

Inside, the left wing features a cruck truss that is partly visible in the wall to the left of the doorway. The left room contains chamfered and stopped common joists, along with an ovolo-moulded spine beam. These joists are supported on a clamp that is pegged to the cruck tie-beam. At the junction of the middle range and the right wing, there is said to be a second cruck truss, though it is now covered. The north room of the middle range has ovolo-moulded main joists, while the south room contains two similar joists that rest on a roll-moulded firehood bressumer. A 17th-century plank door leads into an extension on the west side.
