The Old House

The Old House is a house with possible medieval origins, significantly altered in the 17th and early 18th centuries. It is constructed of squared coursed limestone with quoins, and includes areas of uncoursed rubble to the rear. The original section has a thatched roof, while a later 18th-century range to the right has a stone-slate roof. Brick ridge and end stacks are present, the end stack to the 18th-century range retaining an original stone base. The house has a T-shaped plan.

The house is one storey plus attic with a two-storey range, presenting a four-window facade of 18th and 19th-century three-light casement windows with wooden lintels. A 18th-century plank-and-rail door is situated towards the centre of the thatched range, also with a wooden lintel. More recent French doors are present on the left facade of the 18th-century range. A single-storey stone and thatch range adjoins the main structure to the left.

The rear elevation features further 18th and 19th-century three-light casement windows. To the right is a reset 16th-century window with a hollow-chamfered surround and moulded head. Above this, in the oldest part of the building, is a round medieval window with mouchette tracery set within a square block of stone.

The interior is reported to contain a pair of cruck blades.
