Description
This is a mid-17th century house, significantly raised in the 18th century, with alterations and additions from the early and mid-19th century. It is timber-framed, with a granite rubble plinth and brick nogging, and has a slated hipped mansard roof. A dentillated wood eaves course, rendered brick ridge, and gable stacks are notable features. The house is originally of three bays and has an L-shaped layout. The front of the house has a 20th-century close-boarded door positioned off-centre, flanked to the left by a two-light casement window and to the right by two early 20th-century hipped square bay windows. Above, there are three 20th-century glazing bar casements. A two-storey rendered addition is present to the left. In the return angle, a rounded lean-to oven enclosure exists. The rear elevation features a blocked doorway with a hood containing a 20th-century casement. To the right is a large 20th-century lean-to porch with a slate and plastic sheet roof. Further additions, single and two-storey, are rendered and date to the 19th century. To the left of the rear elevation is a three-light 20th-century casement, above which are two 20th-century casements, and above again are three two-light hooded casements in the roof. To the left of the main house stands a two-storey brick outbuilding, two bays wide, containing two pairs of crucks. It includes a garage doorway with a wooden lintel, a lean-to porch, and two close-boarded doors. Adjoining this is a mid-19th century brick stable with a slate roof. The stable features two stable doors flanked to the right by a pair of carriage doors. To the left, a stable door is flanked by single slatted casements. Inside, the house displays a framed partition wall, chamfered span beams, and a fireplace bressummer. Two late 18th-century and early 19th-century winder staircases are present, the latter with stick balusters. There's a keystoned round-headed passage with a six-panelled door, along with two early 19th-century four-panel doors and four 18th-century panelled cupboard doors. A hob grate in a Classical wooden surround, two late 19th-century painted slate fireplaces, are also features of the interior.
