Description

House. Dating to the late 13th century—tree-ring dated 1297—with remodelling in the 17th century and extensions in the 19th century. Constructed of dressed limestone with a Welsh slate roof, featuring gabled ends, stone tile courses at the eaves, and pantiles at the rear. Red brick chimney shafts are present on gable and axial stacks.

The original plan comprised a three-bay open hall with a screens passage and a possible service bay to the northwest, and a parlour and solar to the southeast. The service end of the house is absent, while the parlour and solar have been replaced by a 19th-century loft over a carriageway. Evidence suggests a rear range was once attached to the lower west bay of the hall. In the 17th century, the house was remodelled, with stone walls rebuilt and a floor, partitions, and chimney stacks installed within the hall. Interior alterations followed in the early 19th century.

The south front presents an asymmetrical appearance with four windows. It features three 4-light moulded stone mullion windows to the left, with one window on the first floor and two on the ground floor. The ground floor windows have a hood mould, continued over a carved stone doorframe centrally located to the right. 16-pane sashes are present to the right, and a 19th-century bay with a lower clay plain tile roof occupies the right-hand end. This bay contains a 12-pane sash on the first floor and plank double doors leading to the carriageway below. The rear (north) elevation showcases late 19th or 20th-century casements, a late 20th-century porch and steps leading to a 20th-century window above the carriageway, a long stone wing on the right, and a lower, late 19th-century brick outbuilding.

The left (west) room contains deeply chamfered cross beams with large step stops and a 20th-century chimneypiece. 17th-century panelling separates the west room from the hall passage. The passage features an elliptical moulded arch with pilasters, and there is an early 19th-century staircase with stick balusters, turned newels, and moulded handrails. Early 19th-century panelled doors are also present. Small, early to mid-19th century fireplaces are notable, featuring simple moulded chimneypieces and iron grates. The roof retains two raised base-cruck trusses of the original three-bay hall, with chamfered arch-braces and pentagonal spandrel-like blocks between the collar ties, arch braces, and tops of the cruck blades. The timbers are threaded with square-set roof-plates displaying elaborate scarf-joints. Only the roof-plates at the front of the west and centre bays and at the rear of the east bay remain, along with missing wind-braces, a reused crown-purlin, and the original common-rafters (with only principal rafters of the west truss surviving). A substantial section of the timber-framed partition in the northwest end wall is still visible. The cruck blades were set on sole-plates roughly half way up the walls, and the upper parts of the walls were originally timber-framed, but now rebuilt in stone, with a section of sole-plate remaining at the south end of the south front wall.

This is a surviving three-bay hall of an important late 13th-century base-cruck hall house.
