Description

Purnell House is a detached house dating from the late 18th century, with an addition made in the mid-19th century. The main part of the house is roughcast over a random rubble marlstone base, while the rear wing is constructed of coursed rubble limestone. It has a stone slate roof and a brick chimney. The house is two storeys with an attic, and the rear wing creates an L-shaped layout. There are lean-to additions to the angle of the house and at the south end.

The front of the house has a two-window arrangement, with all original leaded casement windows featuring timber mullions within segmental-arched openings. A flat timber porch hood supported by brackets shelters the plank front door, which is located to the right. A single-storey lean-to is attached to the right side, featuring a 20th-century casement window. The north side has a single-window arrangement with similar leaded casement windows in segmental-arched openings; the roughcast has been removed from the ground floor. The south end has a lean-to with a brick chimney and a centrally placed attic casement within the main gable, alongside a cut-down chimney set into the ridge. The rear wing extends forward towards the right and includes various later lean-to additions.

Inside, many original features remain, including panelled shutters to the main casement windows and the original front door with its contemporary ironmongery. The rear wing was formerly used as a cider mill.
