Description

This is a house, now used as a house and farmhouse, dating to around 1700. It includes garden walls that adjoin the rear left and right sides. The front (south-east) is built of dressed coursed killas stone; the rest of the building is of killas rubble. Oak lintels are above the openings. The steeply pitched hipped roofs are covered with large Delabole slate tiles, with a larger slate course at the eaves. The eaves project on moulded wooden brackets. A section of the garden wall on the rear right-hand side features 17th-century crested clay ridge tiles. There are large rubble stacks, including a lateral stack at the rear right and two axial stacks.

The building has an overall L-shaped plan, with a double-depth range at the front, and a large single-room plan wing to the right-hand side, joined at right angles. Later lean-tos extend beyond this wing. Inside, there were originally two parlours flanking a central entrance hall, leading to a stair hall. The stair hall sits between a small service room or parlour to the left and a room, possibly a former buttery, to the right. The fireplaces are located in the rear walls of the front rooms, and the rear left-hand room and stair hall are separately roofed. A kitchen wing extends at right angles behind the right-hand side, featuring an external lateral stack and an integral winder staircase on the right-hand side. Further lean-tos, likely dating to the late 18th century, are located at the rear of this wing.

The south-east front has a symmetrical arrangement with five windows and a central doorway. Windows, dating to around the early 19th century, are 16-pane hornless sashes in original openings; a horned copy is present at ground floor level on the left, and an opening is blocked on the ground floor to the right. Similar sashes are found on other elevations. Some blocked openings are present in the rear wall. The rear wing features ovolo-moulded oak lintels over some openings.

The interior includes original bolection-moulded chimney pieces in the front left-hand room and the chamber over the former buttery. There are several two-panel doors with bolection mouldings, and window shutters, some with fielded panels. The roof structure is likely original, with pegged collars and apices.
