Description

This is a late medieval house, originally a farmhouse, that was remodelled in the late 16th or early 17th century, with later additions to the rear. The house is constructed of solid, roughcast walls, likely of stone or cob, and has a slate roof with clay ridge tiles. Two large, projecting chimneystacks of painted ashlar, likely granite, are prominent in the front wall, serving a former hall and parlour. Both have offsets, thatch weatherings and tapered tops; the right-hand stack also has a pent-roofed projection, likely an oven, at its base. A third stack is on the right-hand gable, also with thatch weatherings and a tapered top. The original layout included a three-room plan with a through-passage.

The house has two storeys and a four-window front, with a two-story gabled stone entrance porch in the second bay from the right. The porch has seats on either side and is approached by three wide granite steps, the floor of which is laid with four old paving stones. The entrance doorway has an ovolo-moulded wood frame with a cranked head. The inner doorway retains its wide, chamfered wood frame with a flat head. The upper story of the porch is timber-framed, featuring a 20th-century oriel window. The remaining windows are 3-light wood casements with 8 or 10 panes per light, except for the right-hand ground-story window, which is a 2-light casement with 6 panes.

Inside, the through-passage is divided by stud-and-panel screens on either side. The left-hand screen has chamfered studs with diagonal-cut stops; the reverse side is plain, facing the hall. The right-hand screen also features chamfered studs, but the stops are worn; the screen includes a chamfered door frame with a shouldered head. Early floor joists are visible above. The hall on the left has chamfered beams with step-stops, set higher than the top of the screen. The fireplace has hollow-moulded stone jambs and an ovolo-moulded wood lintel with raised run-out stops. The partition to the parlour has been removed, as the parlour was moved to a converted outbuilding. The parlour has chamfered beams without visible stops and a 20th-century granite lintel over the fireplace. The roof space was not inspected, but the second-story room over the hall has closed trusses at either end.

Adjacent to the right of the house is a former outbuilding, now converted into holiday accommodation, which is included in the listing. This outbuilding has a 17th-century chamfered wood door frame with a flat head. In the second storey is a partition, said to have been moved from the main house. This partition is of oak, three panels high with deep ovolo mouldings, and shows signs of rearrangement, possibly before it was moved.
