Oak Crag

Oak Crag is a late 17th-century house and butcher's shop, with alterations from the 18th and 20th centuries. It was originally a two-room, gable-entry plan building, with a later extension to the right. The front is constructed of roughly dressed limestone and dressed sandstone, while the sides and rear are of coursed rubble. The roof is covered with pantiles and slate, and features brick stacks. The front has two low storeys and three windows. The left side has irregular quoins, and a 20th-century stable door and flat, bracketed porch, along with a 20th-century window, all beneath heavy milled lintels. Two canted five-light bay windows are on the left side. Attic windows are pivoting lights with glazing bars. The rear has an outshut with a catslide roof. A shaped kneeler is visible on the left-hand gable. The building has end and centre-right stacks. Inside, the main ground-floor room features a good stone fireplace with a corbelled lintel and two cupboards to the right. Throughout the ground floor, there are exposed chamfered beams. In the attic of the original part of the house, a pair of raised crucks remain, with a studded partition in place beneath the collar.
