Pinnacle

Pinnacle is a house and attached barn dating from the late 17th century. It is built of large dressed stone and has a stone slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has a two-cell layout that, along with the barn, forms an L-shaped plan. The house features a basket-arched doorway with a chamfered surround on the left. The ground floor windows are double chamfered mullioned, while the first floor windows are chamfered mullioned. To the right of the door, there is a five-light window missing two mullions, and above it, a former seven-light window also missing mullions but retaining two king mullions. There is a four-light window, which also lacks two mullions, with a similar window above it. The gables are coped with kneelers, and there are two stacks at the ridge. The right-hand return wall has a two-light window at the gable. The rear of the house has a three-light chamfered mullioned window, flanked by two two-light windows, while the first floor has three two-light chamfered mullioned windows, all of which lack mullions.

Attached to the left end of the house is a single-aisled barn, which also has coped gables with kneelers and quoins. On the southwest side, the barn features a segmental arched cart entry on skewbacks next to an aisle that breaks forward, which has a segmental arched doorway with a chamfered surround next to an arch-headed light. The rear of the barn has a mistal doorway with tie-stones and a straight lintel positioned at right angles to the house doorway. An inspection of the interior ten years ago revealed an original door entry leading directly from the house into the barn, indicating that this building is part of the long-house tradition.
