Description
This is a pair of houses with an attached outbuilding, dating to 1684 as indicated by a date plaque. The buildings are constructed of roughcast stone with a slate roof. The main house is two storeys and six bays wide, with the two end bays forming a separate cottage. An outbuilding is attached to the left. Most windows are sash windows with glazing bars; a paired sash window is present on the ground floor of the third bay. Dripstones feature over the windows of the third and fourth bays. The first-floor window of the fourth bay is a small-paned fixed window with a pivoted upper section, while the fifth and sixth bays have small-paned casement windows. Entrance doors are situated in the second and sixth bays. A gable-end stack is present, along with two cross-axial stacks. Recesses to the right of the fourth bay contain stone shelves, likely used as bee boles. A lozenge-shaped date plaque, with some interlaced letters, is located to the right of the second bay. The rear of the property features a wing with a lean-to canopy on the left side, which has wooden mullioned windows of three lights with intermediate bars. One gable end has a two-light window, and another two-light window on the return side has leaded glazing with diamond quarries. A wide-boarded door is situated under the canopy. The interior has not been inspected. The outbuilding has two entrances, a ground-floor window, and a pitching hole, with a gable-end stack.
