The Tithe House And Attached Walls And Stable

This is a farmhouse, now a house, dating back to around 1580, with a later extension of 1646 when the house was remodelled. The front and left side walls are rendered, while the left wing retains original timber framing with arch braces and 18th-century brick infill to the rear. The right extension is of limestone rubble. The roof is gabled and hipped, covered in stone slate with a late 16th-century ridge stack to the left, finished in brick, and a similar stack at the right end. The house is in an L-shape, with a rear left wing.

The front facade has a 19th-century six-panelled door and late 19th-century two- and three-light casement windows. A mid-17th-century three-light stone mullioned window with a cavetto-moulded frame is positioned at the top right. A graffito date of 1646 is visible on a quoin on the right side wall, above a mid-17th-century stone cavetto-moulded window that is now blocked. On the rear, there are 18th-century two-light leaded casements above a mid-17th-century three-light stone-mullioned and transomed window with a cavetto-moulded frame.

Inside, the room to the right has dado panelling, a bolection-moulded fireplace and overmantel panel dating from around 1720. The left wing, dating to around 1580, was remodelled in the mid-17th century. One room features chamfered beams, a timber-framed lateral partition with a chamfered urn-stopped doorframe, and a stone chamfered fireplace with a cyma-moulded overmantle, inscribed with the date "RS 1580 TS”. A mid-17th-century ovolo-moulded urn-stopped doorframe is located to the right. A late 16th-century room behind the stack contains quartered stop-chamfered beams. A mid-17th century newel staircase, originally located to the right of the stack, was remodelled in the 20th century but retains original treads in the attic. The first floor has stop-chamfered beams and 17th-century plank doors set in stop-chamfered doorframes. Two rooms at the rear of the stack are divided by a timber-framed partition. A timber-framed wall, originally external to the 1580 building, adjoins the mid-17th-century extension. The late 16th-century stack has a collar truss to the front and a closed timber truss to the rear. A mid-17th-century collar truss with curved windbraces is also present to the right.

The ancillary buildings include a through-entry and stable to the right, built of uncoursed limestone rubble with render and weatherboarding over the entry, and a gabled stone slate roof. The through-entry has 20th-century double doors, a 17th-century plank door, and a stone chamfered alcove to the right. The stables incorporate an ancient type of hewn oak staircase leading to a loft, and a four-bay queen-post roof with curved braces and windbraces at the right.

Attached to the house are limestone rubble walls. One wall, approximately 60 meters long, runs west from the rear left corner of the house. A taller, approximately 3-meter high wall of limestone rubble runs approximately 80 meters north from the right corner of the stable, and is attached to a dovecote. The former wall of a barn, which ran approximately 20 meters west and met a medieval offset buttress, originated from the rear right corner of the stable and was demolished in the early 20th century. The property was shown on an 1818 map as a parsonage.
