Description
Seven House is a farmhouse, now a house with an attached cottage, dating from the mid to late 18th century, with 19th-century alterations and refenestration, as well as 20th-century modernisation and subdivision. The building is constructed of dressed sandstone, topped with a pantile roof and featuring brick stacks. Originally designed as a longhouse, it is two storeys high with a low end that has one and a half storeys, both displaying two windows. The door, which has six panels with two glazed sections, is located to the left of the low end beneath a painted tripartite keyed lintel. To the right of the door, there is a two-light, 12-pane horizontal-sliding sash window, along with a later 20th-century inserted light further to the right, both of which have plain painted lintels. The attic features inserted gabled dormers. The windows on the high end are tall three-light, small-pane horizontal-sliding sashes set beneath painted flat arches. The building has coped gables and a shaped kneeler on the right, along with end stacks.
Inside, the ground-floor room to the left of the original cross-passage retains an inglenook fireplace, which has a chamfer-stopped bressumer, heck, and heck post. The stone fireplace features a double cyma moulded corbelled lintel and a spice cupboard door with a single raised and fielded panel to the right. The newel of the partly-renewed staircase is turned and topped with a mace finial.
