The Goat House

The Goat House is a farmhouse that has been converted into a private house. It dates back to the late medieval period but was superficially altered in the early or mid 19th century. The building features solid roughcast walls, with the left gable end being slate-hung and a tiled roof. There is a red-brick chimney on the left end wall and a rendered chimney with offsets and a red-brick shaft on the right end wall. Additionally, there are two chimneys on the rear wall: one rendered on the left and one red-brick in the center. The layout is likely a three-room cross-passage plan, indicated by the position of the door.

The house is two storeys tall and four windows wide. It has a plank door with an iron wreath-knocker and strap-hinges, topped with a flat wooden hood on concrete brackets. Most windows are three-light wood casements with eight panes per light, although some have old hinges. The window to the right of the doorway features a pair of sash windows.

Inside, the building retains much of its early 18th-century character, despite later alterations. A flagged cross-passage remains, flanked by 18th-century or later plank partitions. The right-hand room includes an open fireplace with a renewed lintel and remnants of stair turret walls. There is likely an early 20th-century stair in the right-hand room. The ground floor and the axial first-floor passage feature early 18th-century two-panel doors, while the roof construction is from the 18th century or later.
