Tanat House And Attached Outbuildings

Tanat House and its attached outbuildings date from the mid-to-late 18th century and have had some minor later additions and alterations. The building is constructed from uncoursed limestone rubble with red brick dressings and was formerly rendered. It features a hipped open-well graded slate roof with 19th-century yellow brick ridge stacks on both sides. The house is two storeys high with an attic and has five windows, which are glazing bar sashes with plain stone lintels, consisting of 15 panes that extend to the ground on the ground floor. The central entrance has a mid-19th-century half-glazed door beneath a wooden Doric porch with a plain entablature. At the rear, there are four glazing bar sashes and an entrance in the second bay from the left, accessed through a six-panel door with a rectangular barred overlight.

Attached to the rear on the left are L-shaped outbuildings that enclose a cobbled courtyard. These outbuildings are made of uncoursed sandstone rubble and have a graded slate roof that is hipped on the north range. They are one storey high, with the west range featuring 19th-century leaded casements alternating with boarded doors. The north range is similar and includes wide double doors at the angle with the west range.

Inside, the central hall has a dog-leg staircase with a carved open string, featuring two stick balusters on each tread and a ramped wreathed handrail. This area is illuminated by an oval-shaped cupola with plaster decoration on the sides. A similar staircase with carved open string and stick balusters leads to the back. Most rooms retain their original panelled doors, some of which have fluted surrounds and carved rosettes at the corners. The plaster cornices have egg and dart moulding on the friezes and rosette emblems. There are panelled window shutters and a cellar to the right. The first-floor rooms contain 19th-century cast-iron fireplaces. The attic has plank doors and three upper cruck trusses that likely date back to the time of the house's construction. The west range of the outbuildings includes a bread oven and a cast-iron sink with a furnace below on the left, while the north range has stables with 19th-century wooden partitions and cast-iron hay racks.
