Description
This is a house, dating from the early 17th century, that has been substantially rebuilt and restored in the 20th century. It is constructed of rubbles with a thatched roof, featuring a ridge stack and a gable stack on the right side. The roof ridge is higher on the right. The original layout was a three-room through-passage plan, with a T-shaped form created by a rear wing. The house has two storeys and five windows, all 20th-century 2-light casements. Two eyebrow dormers are present on the right side, and the thatch has been raised over three casements on the left. The second window from the right has a 1/2-glazed door with a thatched hood, and a ridge stack is to the left of the door.
The left return originally featured a single-storey end room, now with three buttresses and a 20th-century door to the left, as well as a 20th-century plate-glass window at the first floor. The right return has a blank gable end. At the rear, there's a 20th-century French window on the left, and the roof has been extended over the rear of the passage, incorporating a 20th-century 6-pane light. The two-storey, gabled rear wing has a 2-light casement at ground floor and a 2-light casement with a chamfered mullion on the inside, with iron stanchions and a decorative catch at the first floor. A single-storey lean-to is situated along the right side, originally used as a dairy. This lean-to has a pantiled roof and features single and 2-light casements and a door to the right.
The interior includes a heavy chamfered beam in the room to the right. The room to the left has a fireplace under the ridge stack, with a stone lintel and an oven to the right. The end room to the left has a rear door with ventilation holes, leading to the former dairy.
