• II Farmhouse. Possibly late C16 in origins, extended in C17 with considerable C19 and C20 alterations. Rendered stone rubble and cob. Asbestos slate roof with brick stack at left gable end and rendered stack at right gable end. Brick shaft to rear hall stack enclosed by 2-storey outshut. Basically 3-room and through-passage plan with parlour to right of passage at upper end, hall to left and service room at left lower end. 2-storey outshut to rear. Staircases at each end of rear outshut. Plan development unclear as entire range reroofed in C19. Possibly originally 2-room and through-passage plan with massive cob wall between hall and service end. Similar partition wall between passage and parlour suggests latter may have been rebuilt. Lower left end of hall also partitioned possibly in C18 to form narrow passage between service end and hall. 2 storeys. 4-window range C20 fenestration throughout. 2-light casements. Late C19 timber porch with shaped struts supporting the canopy. 4-panelled door, upper panels glazed. Plank door into service room at left lower end. Interior. Some raised and fielded 2-panelled doors survive, 1 to rear of passage at lower end of hall, and 2 to chambers over parlour end. Double brick creamery built into lower end wall of hall. Chamfered headrail of plank and muntin screen in service end reused as axial ceiling beam. Original fireplaces probably survive behind C20 ones in all 3 ground floor rooms. Chamber over service room probably originally used as apple loft or wool chamber.
