Nibley House

Nibley House is a house with origins dating back to the 15th century, with a 16th-century closing of the open hall and a dairy added in the early 17th century. The west end of the house was completely rebuilt in the 19th century, and there have been alterations and additions in the 20th century. The structure is built of pennant rubble, rendered at the front, with snecked pennant rubble on the right return (west) and brick, topped with a tiled roof featuring ridge and gable stacks, some covered with single Roman tiles.

The house has a 3-room plan with a through passage and was originally an open-hall house. It stands two storeys high and has four windows, all of which are 20th-century wooden casements. The ground floor features a 4-light and two 3-light casements. The second bay from the right includes a heavy pointed arched chamfered door frame with a timber lintel, a heavy door with raised fillets over strap hinges, a fist and wreath knocker, a spy-hole, and a wooden lock on the inside. There are two large gables to the left, each rising to ridge height and containing a 3-light casement. Above the front door, there is a small dormer gable with a 2-light casement, while the larger gable end from the 19th-century rebuilding to the right has a 3-light casement.

On the right return, the ground floor has a 6-pane sash window and two French windows, along with two smaller gables, each featuring similar sashes with segmental heads. A lower wing to the right has a 20th-century ground floor window and a small gable that rises to ridge height, also with a 20th-century window, and single Roman tiles. A 20th-century greenhouse is attached. The right return shows two gable ends, one belonging to the house on the right and a possible former dairy on the left. The left side has a 20th-century ground floor window, a blocked window on the first floor, and a small 2-pane light to the right.

The rear of the house forms a U-plan with additions, featuring a lean-to at the ground floor, a 20th-century window under the eaves, and a brick gabled dormer to the left. The rear wings have carried windows, all of which are 20th-century, with a lean-to attached to the rear right. Inside, there are chamfered and stopped beams, an ovolo-moulded south door frame, and two raised cruck trusses remaining in the roof. For further details, see the sources.
