Description
The Old House, dating from the 1680s, is a two-storey building with a basement that has been modernised and significantly altered in recent years. It is constructed of rubble stone with ashlar quoins and features a renewed tile roof. The original mullion windows have been changed, with the mullions removed and replaced by two-light casements, four on each floor. The former tall central doorway has been blocked and is now a small window, while the entrance is located at the rear. Additionally, there are two two-light stone mullioned windows in the basement.
