Description
House, originally a farmhouse, dating to the late 16th century. Constructed of coursed sandstone rubble with exposed close-studded timber framing visible on the north gable ends and the first floor of the porch. The roof is tiled with gable ends, retaining stone tiles at the base of the north wing. A large axial stack of stone, with set-offs, projects from the north wall of the main range and cuts into the north wing. The building comprises a two-room plan main range, with a single-room plan wing to the rear. A direct entrance is provided through a two-storey gabled porch at the front. A square stair turret is located at the back and an axial stack is present. The left section is two storeys high, while the right section is lower, single-storey with an attic, and features a large axial stack at their junction.
The two-storey left section has a large, two-storey gabled porch with a close-studded first floor that is jettied out on both sides. This porch features a chamfered wooden doorframe with a Tudor arch and an iron lattice casement above. Various wooden and stone mullion windows are present; some on the ground floor right feature cavetto moulding, and more are found in the left (north) gable end. The rear features a large, square stair turret on the southwest corner and a low, gable-ended wing on the left.
Inside the principal south room, there are chamfered ceiling beams, exposed unchamfered joists, and large fireplaces, with a reused ceiling beam serving as the lintel. Stone newel stairs are found in the rear turret, while stone window stairs lead to the cellar, which has chamfered ceiling beams. The right-hand room contains a fireplace with chamfered lintels. The rear wing contains jointed, raised cruck construction. The roofs and upper floors of the main range were not inspected. The interior was semi-derelict at the time of the survey in 1984.
