Humphries End House

Humphries End House is a detached house dating from the early to mid-17th century, with an east wing that was rebuilt in 1699 for W.B. The house is constructed of random rubble limestone with ashlar chimneys and a stone slate roof. It is two stories high with an attic and features a cross-wing at the east end that includes a cellar.

The main frontage of the 1699 addition has three windows, all of which are two-light chamfered mullioned casements beneath a combined hoodmould, along with two gabled attic dormers. The north side shows the gable end of the east range on the left, which has a single-window fenestration, all recessed chamfered two-light casements with hoodmoulds. There is a blocked attic oval with a date and initials. The earlier range extends to the right, where the original cross-passage doorway is roughly central and now blocked, but features a hoodmould over a deep stone lintel that connects to a five-light casement on the right. The present doorway on the left appears to be early 19th century, featuring a segmental timber porch hood and a four-panel door. The upper floor has two timber windows with leaded iron casements and timber lintels, and a reset oval in the loft that is also leaded. There are two gabled roof dormers with timber casements.

On the south side, the gable end of the east range on the right has a projecting chimney stack with paired ashlar shafts and moulded caps. An outshut is located in the rear angle of this range, with a catslide roof extending above a single two-light casement on each floor. The remainder of the range to the left has mullioned fenestration, most of which has been restored. The interior has had the original cross-passage removed, and the main chimney at the west end has an adjacent stone spiral staircase. There is also a barn to the east. The house has been illustrated in works by W.G. Davie and E.G. Dawber, as well as N. M. Herbert.
