Description

Michelland House and its attached outbuildings, now converted into a house, likely date from the 17th century and have undergone later alterations. The structure features rendered and limewashed rubble walls with protruding through stones and a slate roof. It has two end chimney stacks, with the right-hand stack being massive, partly corbelled, and equipped with slate drips. The building is two storeys high.

The house includes a studded oak door set in a gabled porch, which has a datestone reading 1681 (though this is not original). There are two sash windows to the right and two to the left, along with three sashes above, all from the 19th century and featuring vertical glazing bars. The outbuilding has a 20th-century door and porch, with a 20th-century sash window to the right of the door and one above that matches the house's windows.

Inside, the property contains some flagged floors, beams, a spice cupboard with initials and the date RT 1710, and a fragment of a plank and muntin partition.
