Description
This is a farmhouse, now a house, with an origin in the early 16th century, and subsequent alterations and additions, including a 19th-century single-story rendered wing to the north. The building is constructed of rubble and has double Roman tiled roofs, with stacks featuring diagonal chimneys. The main facade has two gables rising to the ridge, each with a 6-light window. The first floor has two 8-light windows and a central 4-light window, while the ground floor has two 8-light windows, one 6-light window, and a 3-plank door within a bolection moulded and stopped frame, complete with studs and strap hinges. The single-story wing to the right features a 19th-century cross window and door. The south elevation mirrors the front, with a polygonal bay to the right featuring French windows with margin glazing and shutters. The north elevation includes 20th-century windows, a small casement with 4 leaded lights, and a gable with casements. The rear of the house has two gables and two lower two-story wings. It features various casements, including a small square timber window with an iron stanchion. A south wing has a plank door with strap hinges, a pointed arch surround, and moulded dripmould. A north wing has an 18-pane sash window and a 4-light casement, both with timber lintels. Inside, the entrance hall is panelled, and features 2-panelled doors, deep chamfered and stopped beams, and a newel staircase with a grip handrail and turned balusters. A rear left room has bolection moulded panelling, a fireplace, a panelled cupboard with decorative hinges, and a cornice. The first floor retains deep chamfered and stopped beams, including a bolection moulded beam in the former parlour chamber.
