Description
House, dating from the 16th century, with alterations in the 20th century. The upper storey is roughcast and colour-washed, while the lower storey is of exposed rubble stone. It has a half-hipped thatched roof. A lateral stack is located at the front, featuring a battered cap and a drip; this has been heightened in brick and incorporates a projecting bread oven with a slate cap. A tall rubble stack, also with a bread oven, brick shaft and weatherings, is situated at the rear. The house originally had a three-room through-passage plan. The front has a three-window arrangement, with small openings containing three 2-light casements, each with six panes of glass. A 2-light and a 3-light hall window, each with four panes of glass, are to the left of the stack. A slated lean-to canopy covers the through-passage doorway to the right, and there's a 20th-century single-storey projection with a lean-to roof at the right end. The rear elevation, facing the road, has a gabled thatched dormer in the centre above two outshuts with a slated lean-to roof. The interior was recorded by Alcock in his "Cruck Catalogue" as containing three pairs of cruck blades with an "H-type apex," and it is said to have oak panelling in the hall.
