Kings House

Kings House is a house that was formerly a farmhouse, dating from the 16th century or earlier. It likely started as an open hall house, possibly with a smoke bay at one time, and features an early 17th-century inserted stack. The building was refronted in the 18th century and refenestrated in the 20th century. The exterior is made of coursed sandstone with a plinth at the front, complemented by red brick dressings and quoins. It has a steeply pitched tiled roof with gablets and stands two storeys tall with five 20th-century wooden casement windows. The entrance has a doorcase with a flat hood supported by brackets, and there is a 19th-century outshut at the rear.

Inside, the ground floor includes a large axial beam that is chamfered with lambs tongue stops, along with similar floor joists. There is an inglenook fireplace featuring two beehive-shaped bread ovens. A winder staircase with turned balusters leads to the first floor, which has some late 16th-century or early 17th-century plank and muntin panelling, as well as some 18th-century panelling and a four-panelled door. The roof, dating from the 18th century, is of the through purlin type, with tie beams and collar beams.
