Great House

This is an early 17th-century house, originally consisting of two rooms, with a later eastern cross-wing and a rear kitchen wing added around the mid-17th century. The hall range is constructed of dressed rubble, while the east wing is of finely dressed stone, both having stone slate roofs.

The south front of the hall range features double chamfered mullioned windows on the ground floor only. There is a five-light window, where two mullions have been removed, and above it a four-light window that has been altered to two. An original doorway leads to a through passage, framed by a straight lintel, composite jambs and a stop-chamfered surround. Next to this is a double chamfered fire-window with two lights, lacking a mullion. An altered housebody window now has three lights on the ground floor, above which is a three-light chamfered window with replaced flat-faced mullions. A mid-20th century wooden and glass conservatory obscures this range of windows.

The cross-wing projects forward and has a plinth, a cyma recta moulded drip course and a coped gable with kneelers. A return wall displays double chamfered mullioned windows of two lights to each floor. The gable has an altered window of three large lights, a six-light double chamfered mullioned window to the first floor and a single two-light window at the apex, which is solid. The main range has a gable stack, and the cross-wing has a well-dressed stack of four coupled flues.

The rear kitchen wing shares similar detailing with the cross-wing, including a double chamfered mullioned window of five lights, altered to three, and a five-light window above. It has a gable stack of two coupled flues with a moulded weathered course. A rear door to the hall range has a chamfered surround. Numerous other double chamfered mullioned windows survive to the sides and rear of the cross-wing, often lacking mullions or having been altered.

Internally, the housebody has scarf-jointed spine beams and evidence of a former bressumer. The large arched gable fireplace in the rear kitchen has been damaged in recent years. Overall, this was once a fine building that has suffered some ill-treatment.
