Description
Underfield comprises two houses with associated outbuildings. The original house dates to 1649, with a subsequent extension built around the 18th century and a further extension added in the 1920s. The construction is primarily roughcast stone with slate roofs.
The original house is of three bays, with a single-storey bay to the left and outbuildings to the right. A dripcourse runs above the ground-floor windows, which are raised over a decorated lintel marking the entrance, inscribed with "IG/1649". Ground-floor windows are modern casements with leaded glazing, while one bay has a fire window with a stone surround. The first floor features single-chamfered mullioned windows arranged in a 1:4:3:4-light pattern. There is a gable-end stack and a cross-axial stack. The later extension is of six bays, with the first bay, which is lower, forming the end bay of the outhouses, and the final two bays dating to the 1920s. The outbuildings have entrance and loading doors. The later house has sash windows with glazing bars, with paired sashes in the second, fourth, and sixth bays; the first bay has casements with leaded glazing. The entrance features a half-glazed, panelled door with a flat canopy supported by shaped brackets. The later house also has two gable-end and two cross-axial stacks. The rear elevation is similar.
The earlier house has small-paned casements to the return of a rear wing, while the later house includes a modern wing adjacent to a lean-to projection. Inside the original house are chamfered stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, one set above a fireplace with fielded panels. There's a panelled timber partition and a heck partition, together with a fireplace made from sills and lintels from former ground-floor windows. The first floor has plank and muntin partitions.
