Old Housing

Old Housing is a house dating from the mid-17th century, with later additions and alterations. It is built from regularly coursed limestone rubble and features alternating angle quoins. The slate roof has coped verges on the left gable end. The building has two storeys and an attic.

On the ground floor, there are two late 19th-century casement windows with wooden lintels directly below the raised eaves. To the left, there is a three-light chamfered mullion window, and to the right, a two-light chamfered mullion window, both positioned beside a central 20th-century half-glazed door with a flat hood. All the mullion windows have dripstones. There are also two late 19th-century gabled dormers located directly below the ridge. The house has integral end stacks, with the left stack being paired and rebated, both featuring moulded dripstones and capping. The left gable end includes a two-light chamfered mullion window with a dripstone on the first floor and a small 19th-century casement in the attic.

To the right, there is a late 18th or 19th-century range that projects and is said to have been a former agricultural outbuilding, now converted for domestic use.

Inside, only the ground floor was inspected during the resurvey in August 1987. The two rooms feature chamfered spine beams; the left room has a massive beam with stepped diamond stops, while the right room has a beam with stepped ogee stops and chamfered joists with straight-cut stops. The left room also has an inglenook fireplace with a chamfered wooden lintel and a spice cupboard to the right. There is an infilled doorway in the dividing wall at the angle with the front wall, adjacent to the front door. An oak winder staircase is located in the front right corner of the right room, renewed to the first flight and believed to continue to the attic. The left room on the first floor is said to have a chamfered stone Tudor-arched fireplace.
