Description

House. Dating back to around the 13th or 14th century, it was remodelled in the late 16th or early 17th century. The house is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with dressed quoins, and it has a steeply pitched roof of Collyweston stone with stone-coped gable ends. Stone axial and gable end stacks are present. The original layout was a two-room and cross-passage plan, initially an open hall and inner room at the southwest end with a solar above. Around the late 16th or early 17th century, the hall was floored, and an axial lower end stack was added, creating a cross-passage at the northeast end. Later, in the 18th or 19th century, a partition was inserted to form an axial passage at the back of the hall, and a staircase was built behind the cross-passage.

The south front is asymmetrical with three bays. It features a chamfered, triangular-headed doorway on the right, a plank door, and 19th-century two and three-light casement windows to the left. A blocked medieval two-light stone traceried window is on the first floor to the left; the window below is set within a larger, blocked opening with a reset 19th-century arch decorated with carved fleurons. At the rear (north) side, on the right, is another blocked medieval solar window of two lights with tracery and a label. A blocked first-floor doorway and a small, blocked, chamfered window are located below it; small single-light casements are on the left, and a plank door with a side light is at the centre.

Inside, the hall has chamfered axial beams with hollow step stops, and chamfered half beams against the front and back walls. A large fireplace with a chamfered timber lintel is also present, along with a later axial partition at the back of the hall. The left-hand inner room has a late 19th-century chimney piece and grate. The left-hand chamber (solar) retains large, roughly chamfered tie beams, a splayed blocked window at the front, a blocked, chamfered three-centred arch doorway at the rear, and a small blocked window in the hall-solar partition wall. The roof retains remains of smoke-blackened collar rafters incorporated into a later clasped purlin roof structure.

An adjacent property, number 8, is likely an 18th-century addition to the right (east) end of the main structure.

A separate, roughly contemporary building also includes medieval materials, possibly re-used. It is a range of coursed stone rubble with a steeply pitched Collyweston stone roof and coped gable ends. It has two storeys and a four-window range. The front features 19th-century casements and a small, blocked, two-light traceried window with a straight head and hood mould on the first floor to the west. Beneath this is a 13th-century pointed arch, cut off below the springing and featuring floral carving and a hood mould. A triangular-headed doorway is in the centre, with a plain door to the right and plank doors throughout. A small, medieval traceried window is visible at the rear. The interior has stop-chamfered ceiling beams.
