Description

This is a house dating from the 16th and early 17th centuries, constructed of rubble stone with an ashlar-faced front and cement tile roofs. It is L-shaped. The west, north, and south gables have moulded copings, and a rear wall stack is located on the south side.

The north front, likely dating to the 16th century, features a small, unmoulded two-light opening, a small single light, and a door within an altered surround. The west end wall has an attic single light with a dripstone, a first-floor two-light recessed window with ovolo moulding and hoodmould, and a 20th-century window on the ground floor. A range set at right angles to the north front is ashlar-faced with hollow-moulded recessed mullion windows; there are three-light and two-light windows on the first floor, with a three-light window and a door in a chamfered surround on the ground floor. A first-floor dripcourse is present. A ridge stack is also a feature. The rear wall of this range has one original two-light window, two 19th-century casements, and a casement constructed from reused pieces.

The south end gable has a hollow-moulded two-light attic window, a similar three-light first-floor window, both with hoodmoulds, and an altered ground floor window. Remains of a dripcourse are visible at the south-east angle. To the left is a door within a heavily chamfered frame with a hood supported by brackets and a window to the left with remains of a hoodmould; an upper single light and a two-light hollow-moulded window are also present. 20th-century casements are now used throughout.

The interior features heavy tie beams and collar trusses in the south range, and heavy purlins in the east range. The east range has a baffle entry plan with chamfered spine beams with run-out stops in the north-east and south-east rooms. The north-east room contains a flush Tudor-arched stone fireplace with a moulded stone shelf. The south-east first-floor room has a flush chamfered shouldered stone fireplace with a moulded shelf. The house was marked on a map of 1630 by F. Allen.
