Description

A pair of attached houses, now combined into a single dwelling, was likely built around the late 17th and early 18th century, with alterations and additions made during the mid-19th century and some 20th-century changes. The exterior is constructed from granite rubble, topped with a slate roof featuring ridge tiles and gable ends. A brick chimney stack rises from the right gable, while a granite axial stack with a shaped top and cornice is located to the left.

The original layout comprised a one-room-plan house to the right and a two-room-plan house to the left. The house on the right has a porch entrance directly into the main room, which was originally heated by the gable-end stack. The left house features a porch entrance directly into its main room, warmed from an axial stack, alongside a smaller, unheated room partitioned by a stud wall. A stable is attached to the left and a smaller stable to the left end.

The front elevation is two storeys high, with a varied, asymmetrical three-window facade featuring 20th-century casement windows. The house to the right has a gabled stone and brick porch with a half-glazed door, alongside a two-light casement window on the right and a similar window at the first floor. The house to the left features a stone rubble porch with a pitched roof and a stone bench to the left, a half-glazed door, a two-light casement to the right, and a left-hand casement. Two further two-light casements are present at the first floor. A stone string course runs along the first floor. There is a straight joint marking the point where the main house adjoins the stable on the left. The stable's front features a plain central door with strap hinges and ventilation slits on either side, with a 20th-century window replacing a former loading door. Granite quoins mark the end stable's left boundary, and have a stable door with strap hinges. A 20th-century light fills the end stable’s right side. The right side of the main house has a two-light casement window at both ground and first floor levels. The rear of the house to the right is blank. The rear of the house to the left features six-pane windows at ground and first floor, as well as a light window to the stairwell. A stable is built into the rear, with stone steps leading to a double door sheltered by a pentice hood, alongside ventilation slits at ground floor level on either side. The end stable’s left side has a 20th-century window.

The interior is only partially accessible. The house to the left contains a main room with 19th-century ceiling joists. The axial stack’s fireplace has roughly hewn granite jambs and lintel.
