Description

This is a farmhouse, likely built around 1740-50, with a later 18th-century bay added to the right. It is constructed of Flemish bond brick with random flared headers, alongside coursed limestone rubble on the sides and rear, and has a stone slate roof. The original plan comprised three units, later extended to four. The front of the building has two storeys and a 5-window range. A six-panelled door, with four glazed panels, is topped by a flat hood. The ground floor windows have a gauged brick flat arch, while the first-floor windows have timber lintels. Two mid-18th-century canted bays feature mid-19th-century horned sashes, and the right-hand bay has a cambered arch and timber lintel over its sashes. A storey band runs along the front, and dentilled eaves extend from the left corner to the right of the door. An early 20th-century gabled roof dormer is present. The roof is gabled, with a gable-end and one ridge stack.

The rear of the property is built of coursed limestone rubble with a gabled 20th-century tile roof and a brick gable-end stack. It features segmental stone arches over 20th-century casements. Attached to the rear right corner is a single-storey, two-window range of coursed limestone rubble with a gabled tile roof and a datestone reading AD/1832.

Inside, there’s a 18th-century six-panelled door on the ground floor and 18th-century four- and six-panelled doors on the first floor. A wood bressumer sits above an open fireplace to the right, with a central fireplace flanked by 18th-century china closets, and a mid-18th-century fireplace to the left. The hall, open to the roof, contains an early 19th-century quarter-turn staircase with winders and an open string. On the first floor, an early 19th-century fireplace is flanked by panelled cupboards, and a mid-18th-century fireplace with a dentilled cornice is located to the right.
