The Old House

The Old House is a large house, dating from the 17th century and remodelled in the 20th century. It is constructed of regular coursed ironstone rubble, with a steeply pitched 20th-century tile roof and brick stacks to the right and ridge, each with stone bases. The building follows an L-shaped plan and has a single storey plus an attic.

The front elevation has a four-window range. The gabled wing to the left features 20th-century metal casements on the ground floor and in the attic. The main part of the house has two doorways, a small pointed stone arched window between them, and a rectangular staircase projection to the right. Further right are two 20th-century windows and a small rectangular window. The attic has two wooden mullioned windows with lead cames on the left side and two similar 20th-century windows on the right. A tiled circular bread oven projection is located at the right end of the building. The rear of the house shows casements inserted into stone surrounds and wood mullioned windows.

Inside, the house retains stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, and a chamfered bressumer to the inglenook fireplace. A wooden spiral stair, with elm treads replaced, is present. The original plan of the hall, parlour, and through passage to the kitchen remains discernible.
