Description
This is a late 17th-century farmhouse with an attached outbuilding, now combined as one structure. The farmhouse is built of rubble walls, rendered externally, and has a roof of graduated greenslate with stone ridge tiles. A large chimney is prominent on the right, featuring paired circular shafts. The building is two storeys high. It has a boarded front door and windows including two 19th-century casements on the ground floor, one to the left and two to the right, and three similar windows above. All the windows have a single horizontal glazing bar and iron catches.
Inside, the farmhouse retains features such as flagged floors, chamfered beams, and muntin and plank partitions on the ground floor, with lath and plaster to the upper floor. A 18th-century stone fireplace is found within an inglenook, which preserves a timber “heck” partition and a spice cupboard bearing the initials MBG 1691. Original plank doors, some with original timber catches, are also present, along with remnants of a stone dog-leg staircase. The two-storey outbuilding to the right was likely originally a granary above a stable or cow shed; it is now used as a scullery and store.
