Tatters

Tatters is a detached house that was formerly used as an inn and a post office. It dates from the mid to late 17th century and may be a remodelling of an earlier building. The structure is made of rubble with freestone dressings and features a thatched roof. It has an L-shaped plan and is designed in a gabled vernacular farmhouse style. The house has two storeys and a steep coped gable on the right side.

The front consists of three bays, with two-light casement windows set in ovolo moulded mullions and surrounds, all beneath dripmoulds. There is also a three-light wooden casement window in the east gable and 20th-century casements to the left. An off-centre projecting porch with a thatched roof adds to its character.

Inside, there is a cross passage with a former service end to the left, which has been rebuilt, and a hall and parlour to the right. The hall features ovolo moulded beams, a fireplace surround, and doorframes with stops. The first-floor room to the right has an ovolo moulded lintel over the fireplace and includes a spice cupboard. The building also has extended collar beam trusses.
