Raleigh

A possible longhouse, now a dwelling, likely dating from the 16th century. The north gable end was probably rebuilt in the 19th century, and the walls were raised during that time. Restoration work took place in 1987. The exterior is roughcast over coursed rubble on the south and south-east sides, with a shallow-pitched slate roof. A projecting stack is located on the north gable end, and a large lateral stack with an adjoining slate-roofed projection is found to the right of the entrance.

The original layout appears to have been a longhouse, now arranged as a three-cell dwelling with a through passage. A staircase was inserted opposite the entrance, and a later addition includes a porch on the west front. Most of the windows on the east front are 20th century replacements, except for one. The fenestration is irregular, with two 2-light windows on the first floor to the right of the lateral stack, a small 19th-century fixed light window above the porch, and an unlit window to the left. The ground floor has a 2-light casement window to the left. A gable porch features a round-headed opening and a 2-light window in a single-storey projection, with a further 2-light window beyond. The south gable end has one bay and late 20th-century sash windows.

Inside, a load-bearing wall is present to the left of the through passage. The former shippon end is featureless. A wall was inserted to the right of the through passage, possibly on the site of a removed timber partition where the stairs are now located. One inner room has thin voussoirs around a large chimney opening, and a curved wall adjoins the projection. The purpose of the curve is unclear. 16th-century panelling with a carved guilloche frieze is found against the north wall of one room, while another north end room contains a single beam and a curved bay in the north-west corner, possibly the location of former stairs. The roof structure includes three pairs of roof trusses with curved collars. The building was likely the original farmstead at East Putford.
