Description

The former house, now used as a store, dates from the 17th century and was remodeled in the 20th century for use as a farm building. It is constructed of granite rubble with granite dressings and features a corrugated asbestos roof with gable ends. The building is currently a single rectangular room, but it originally had a two-room layout. There is a 17th-century fireplace at the right-hand end and another 17th-century fireplace with an oven at the opposite end.

The exterior, which was originally two storeys, has a west-south-west front with a centrally located doorway that dates from the 18th or 19th century. On either side of the doorway are the chamfered outer frames of former mullioned windows from the 17th century, along with old buttresses. No first-floor window openings are visible, suggesting they may have been blocked.

Inside, there is a large 17th-century chamfered granite fireplace at the right-hand end and a large 18th-century granite fireplace with a domed oven on the left. This building is part of a group of 17th and 18th-century houses located on a medieval site, where stones with traceried heads were recently discovered.
