Description

Plough House is a house that likely dates from the 17th century, with an extension to the west probably added in the late 18th century or early 19th century, and further enveloped to the north and east in the late 19th century. The building features a timber frame with brick and plaster infill, and has slate roofs, along with a local stone stack on the north side. The original two-bay 17th-century core has mid-20th century lean-to extensions flanking the chimney on the north side, and the late 18th or early 19th-century extension to the west has also been remodeled in the mid-20th century. The house is two storeys tall.

On the north elevation, there is a small early 20th-century casement window in the central lean-to extension, a mid-20th century casement window on the first floor to the right of the stack, and a late 19th-century first-floor window to the left of the stack. The balloon framing of the late 18th or early 19th-century extension on the right side is four panels high. The south elevation features a late 20th-century glazed entrance door and has two main bays visible at ground level. The 17th-century frame consists of three panels high, with struts to the corner posts and V-struts visible above the collar to the west gable.
