Description
This is a mid-17th century farmhouse with an early 18th century addition to the south, formerly used for non-conformist worship, and an 18th century barn attached to the north. The house is built of large dressed stone, with thinner coursed rubble for the south cell and hammer-dressed stone for the barn. These elements combine to form a long range. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has quoins. The original 17th century section consists of two cells. A central doorway, now acting as a lobby entrance, has a flat-roofed porch with a Tudor arched doorway and a cyma moulded surround. The inner door has a straight lintel and a cyma moulded surround. Double-chamfered mullioned windows with continuous hoodmoulds, featuring decorative carved stops, are present on either side of the porch – one with six lights and the other with ten. The first floor has a five-light and a four-light window, with a single arched light above the doorway to the right of a central stack. At the junction of the house and barn is a doorway with tie-stone jambs, and a two-light cavetto chamfered mullioned window above, lacking a mullion. The barn has a doorway with a large lintel, and a mistal doorway to the right with a chamfered surround. The west elevation includes a porch that projects forward to protect the cart entry. Inside the barn, two transverse pointed arches support the roof purlins.
