Description

Upper House and the attached former stable date from the 16th or 17th century, with a rear extension added in the 18th century and significant restoration around 1983. The building features a timber frame with regular brick infill panels and continuous tiled roofs. There are two truncated local stone chimneys located at the rear of the left range and to the right of the cross range. The structure is T-shaped, with a stable block extension at the rear left, which is now used as a garage.

The house is two storeys high with three bays in each range, and it has late 20th century six- and eight-pane casement windows that are regularly placed. There are two entrances: one at the front junction of the two ranges through a 20th-century door, and another at the rear side of the extended dry stone stack of the cross range. The framing of the left range consists of four panels high from the cill to the eaves, while the cross range has five panels high. A distinctive area of herringbone patterning, three panels high by two wide, is prominently located in the centre bay of the left range. The rear extension is three bays long, with timber framing facing the yard and rubble on the road frontage.

Inside, there is no evidence of a cross-passage, and heavy mantel beams are present over two fireplaces that correspond with the external stacks.
