Description

This is a house, likely dating from the 17th or early 18th century, with later additions. It is built of roughcast stone with a slate roof. The main part of the house is two storeys high and three bays wide, with a gabled wing projecting to the right and a 20th-century wing extending from the right return. The windows are casements, some with timber lintels; the windows in the second bay have small openings, known as fire windows, on both floors. A large casement window is visible on the inner return of the gabled wing. The entrance is sheltered by a gabled trellis porch. The wing has a gable-end entrance, and a pitching hole is visible on the first floor, along with a door fitted with strap hinges. There are gable-end stacks and a stack running across the centre of the main building. The left return has a tall window with lattice glazing. The rear of the house features casement windows.

The interior contains two cruck roof trusses, featuring spurs. There are some plank partitions and chamfered beams, with one beam above the fireplace, which has a post with scored mouldings and a curve on the left side; this is thought to be a remnant of a former partition wall and gable-end entrance, now blocked. A pegged and battened door, and part of a wooden chamfered-mullioned window, are currently stored elsewhere in the house. A spice cupboard features incised moulding. In the third bay, which may be a later addition, there is a spiral staircase with mostly renewed treads, and a cambered beam at the foot.
