Description
House. It likely began in the 17th century with alterations in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The house is whitewashed and rendered with tile roofs. The left gable end has a chimney built of local brick, the right gable end has a rendered chimney, and a tall local brick chimney is located at the front. The layout is a single depth with extensions to the rear left and right; the extension on the right was probably originally a service room associated with the kitchen. The original layout may have been three rooms and a through passage; the through passage was altered in the late 17th or early 18th century to create a stair hall, which may be contemporary with a staircase, although it's also possible the stair hall is original with archaic features at the former kitchen end.
The front elevation has an off-centre entrance leading into the stair hall, flanked by two-light timber casement windows with eight panes per light to the left, and a three-light window in the 20th century to the right. The first floor has two 20th-century dormers and a small two-light opening. The ground floor room to the right of the stair hall, formerly the kitchen, contains ceiling beams and a large fireplace with a fireplace beam featuring step stops and a cloam oven. A wide, chamfered timber doorframe and three-plank door lead to the rear right outshut. The ground floor room to the left of the stair hall, probably the former hall, has a blocked fireplace relating to a lateral stack, with an earlier fireplace likely still intact behind, and an axial beam with step stops. A wall originally partitioning the parlour from the former hall is now missing.
The roof is original to the 17th century with a diagonally set ridge, trenched purlins, and cambered collars, all halved and side-pegged, angled between the principals. The late 17th or early 18th century staircase has turned balusters.
