Description

A farmhouse, later converted into a cottage, dating to the 16th century, likely enlarged in the 17th century and altered in the 19th century. The exterior is roughcast over a rubble base, with a slate roof and brick stacks at the gable ends and in the east wing. The original plan consisted of two rooms and a cross passage, with the addition of an east wing shortly afterwards, and a single-storey addition to the front facade on the right side.

The two-storey, two-bay structure features a steeply chamfered two-light casement window on the left side, a 19th-century three-light casement on the right side, and 20th-century five- and four-light casements on the ground floor flanking a central doorway. The doorway has a chamfered stone four-centred arch and a 19th-century studded plank door. A single-storey addition of random rubble is located on the right side and contains a 20th-century window.

Inside, a plank and muntin screen of uncertain age sits to the right of the cross passage. There's a further four-centred stone arch doorway at the rear of the cross passage, and a wooden Tudor-arched head to the left of the cross passage, along with another in the rear wall of the left room, providing access to the east wing. These features suggest the east wing might originally have been a small outshut. The roof and floor timbers in both wings, including the rain blocks, are chamfered with steps and run-out stops. The four-centred stone arch doorway and the steeply chamfered two-light window are reminiscent of Court Hall. The roof appears to have been replaced in the 19th century.
