Old Farmhouse Approximately 30 Metres South East Of Hill Farmhouse

This is an early to mid 16th-century disused farmhouse, with significant alterations in the later 16th and 17th centuries, modernisation in the late 19th century, and adaptation for agricultural use in the 20th century. The farmhouse is constructed of plastered local stone rubble, with stone rubble stacks topped with 19th-century brickwork, and a corrugated iron roof, with remnants of earlier thatch beneath. It is situated approximately 30 metres south-east of Hill Farmhouse.

The original design was a small three-room and through-passage plan house, facing north-west and built down a gentle hillslope. At the north-west end is an inner room or parlour with a gable-end stack. The hall, which has an axial stack backing onto the passage, is located next. The lower end has been extensively rebuilt in the 20th century and now serves as a garage/workshop with an open front. Originally conceived as an open hall house, possibly heated by an open hearth fire, the hall was later floored over in the early to mid 17th century.

The workshop section is open-fronted and heavily rebuilt, with secondary outshots obscuring the hall and inner room. The front passage doorway has a late 19th- or early 20th-century plank door. A rear passage doorway retains an original oak doorframe, missing one side of a shoulder-headed arch, with open window embrasures containing remnants of 19th-century casement windows. The roof is gable-ended and steps down by the hall stack.

The interior is dilapidated and shows the effects of late 19th-century modernisation. Within the inner room, the crossbeam is plastered over, and the fireplace is blocked by a 19th-century grate. However, the hall retains a large stone rubble fireplace with a chamfered oak lintel, and a chamfered crossbeam with scroll stops. The roof is supported by side-pegged jointed cruck trusses extending from the passage to the inner room end, with possible evidence of smoke-blackening from an open hearth fireplace visible within the roofspace.
