Hopkins

This is a house dating back to approximately 1340, with alterations in the 17th century, a wing built around 1700, and a 19th-century addition. It is constructed of regular coursed blue lias limestone and brick in English bond, with a steeply pitched roof covered in renewed tile and stone slates. A large stone stack rises from the front ridge, featuring two diagonal shafts, and another lateral stack is also present. The house is laid out in an L-shape.

The exterior is single-storied with an attic. The three-window front has a two-story gabled wing to the right. The entrance is located slightly left of centre, featuring a six-panelled door set within brick jambs and a moulded frame, all under a gabled rustic porch. A canted bay window is on the left end, with small-paned glazing and an iron opening casement. A blocked opening sits below a timber beam to the left of the entrance, and to the right is a labelmould above a three-light casement with small panes and an iron opening casement. A small, chamfered-opening window is located to the right of the stack, with a blind wall completing this side. Three dormers light the attic; the central one is large, built with stone, and flush with the wall, boasting a recessed, chamfered-mullioned window with a labelmould. The other dormers have two-paned casements with iron opening casements. The wing features a segmental-headed window with a three-light casement with small panes and an iron opening casement on both floors.

The right return showcases a stone plinth alongside a large external lateral stack with stone quoins and shafts. A window to the left of the stack has an altered three-light casement with small panes, while the window above has a 20th-century replacement. A 20th-century addition extends from the rear.

The interior, which has not been inspected, is recorded as having a two-bay open hall with a base-cruck central truss supporting a crown post, and two aisled trusses. A spere truss or intermediate partition is also present. Noteable carpentry features include dragon ties, as documented by the Leverhulme Cruck Project.
