Description
This is a house dating from the late 17th century, with a refronting dated 1795, as indicated on the rainwater head. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with a roughcast front and features a gabled stone slate roof, which has a ridge stack made of stone finished in four brick flues. The house has a two-unit lobby-entry plan with a through-passage to the left and stands two storeys tall with an attic, displaying a five-window range.
The entrance consists of a six-panelled door set within a moulded wood architrave, topped by a bracketed flat hood, and to the left is a 19th-century six-panelled door, two of which are glazed. The windows include 8-pane sashes and a 4-pane sash, all set in rendered architraves, along with two gabled roof dormers. At the rear, there are two 18th-century wings made from similar materials, with light timber framing on the left side.
Inside, the house features cased beams and a collar-truss roof supported by butt purlins. Additional features include limestone ashlar and rubble walls that enclose a passage to the left and a forecourt measuring approximately 9 by 16 metres. The property is further enhanced by late 18th-century wrought-iron railings with urn finials, which flank a wrought-iron gate.
