Meadows

Meadows is a house dating from the early to mid 17th century, which was enlarged, likely in the late 19th century, and further altered and expanded in the late 20th century. It is constructed of rendered cob and features a gable-ended scantle-slate roof, along with a rendered 20th-century addition.

The original layout consists of a two-room central-entrance plan with end stacks and a central staircase that rises from the entrance lobby. There is probably a 19th-century one-room plan addition to the left, which may have been an outbuilding before being converted for domestic use in the late 20th century. A late 20th-century addition at the rear replaced what was likely a 19th-century outshut. The house has a gabled front porch, which is probably a later addition from the 19th or 20th century, and it stands two storeys tall.

The exterior is asymmetrically fenestrated with 19th and 20th-century wooden casements, featuring two lights on the first floor and three lights on the ground floor. The doorway is located between the first and second windows from the right and has a late 20th-century door along with a gabled porch that has a segmental-arched opening.

Inside, the right-hand ground-floor room showcases a 17th-century chamfered cross beam and ovolo-moulded half beams, all with ogee stops. There is a fireplace with old stone jambs, a 20th-century wooden lintel, and a cloam oven. Two arched recesses are found in the wall to the right of the fireplace, and a cupboard in the rear wall has a four-panelled door with internal shelves and hooks. The left-hand ground-floor room also features a 17th-century chamfered cross beam, a chamfered half beam to the left, and a reused cross beam to the right. The original 17th-century range has a four-bay roof with the feet of three straight principal rafters visible in the first-floor rooms, possibly indicating 17th-century trusses. There is a single truss over the left-hand addition, but the roof space has not been inspected.
