Description
Carpenters is an attached house that likely dates back to the mid-16th century, with alterations made in the mid-17th and 18th centuries. The building features rubble stone walls and a slate roof adorned with ornamental ridge tiles. There are two brick stacks, one to the right of the door and another at the right end. The house has two storeys and includes a 20th-century weatherboarded porch with a gabled tiled roof. The front wall displays a date stone from 1708.
To the left of the door, there is a two-light stone mullioned window with glazing bars, along with a small 20th-century casement. To the right of the door, there are three two-light stone mullioned windows with hoodmoulds and casements. On the first floor, three 18th-century casements with glazing bars are set under stone lintels that feature projecting keystones. At the right end of the house, a single-storey former workshop, now part of the house, has rubble stone walls and a slate roof, with a 20th-century panelled door and four 20th-century casements.
Inside, there is a timber-framed partition between the cross-passage and the kitchen, which has a shouldered-arched doorway. The ceiling beam is exposed, and there is an early ledged door at the rear entrance to the cross-passage. The hall features intersecting moulded ceiling beams and a large open fireplace that backs onto the cross-passage, complete with stone jambs and a moulded oak lintel. The parlour at the right end also has a large open fireplace with stone jambs, a timber lintel, and a bread oven, along with one chamfered ceiling beam. The chamber above the hall contains a fireplace with moulded stone jambs and a timber lintel. There is reputed evidence of smoke-blackened roof timbers, suggesting the presence of an open hall in the past.
