Oldfield House Oldfield House Cottage

Oldfield House is a house, now divided into three dwellings, dating from the mid- to late 17th century, with additions from the 19th century. It is constructed of coursed stone, dressed on the front, with a stone slate roof. The original central portion has two first-floor windows. A central 18th-century doorway features a stone architrave, frieze, and pediment. The ground-floor windows have been altered. Above, there are double-chamfered mullion windows with 6 and 9 lights, incorporating king mullions. Kneelers and coping are present to the roofline. An addition to the right, dating from around 1820, has a bay window, 18-pane sash windows, and a bracketed moulded eaves cornice. A coach house wing to the left, from the mid-19th century, incorporates a reset datestone inscribed 'WMM 1677'. Inside the middle part of the building is a room with two chamfered beams with run-out stops. There is also a late 17th-century round-headed former cupboard with fluted wooden pilasters and a moulded arch with a plain keystone, containing three shelves, the upper pair of cupboard doors now missing, the lower pair with raised and fielded panel doors flanked by panelled pilasters. A 20th-century stone fireplace is present, above which is an early 17th-century wall painting of a greyhound wearing a collar, contained within a contemporary fitted wooden frame.
