Description
Ferry House is a house dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, constructed of ashlar and rubblestone with a graduated stone slate roof. It has two storeys and two bays, with a one-storey, one-bay block attached to the right. The main part of the house, from the 17th century, features a central half-glazed door set in a chamfered surround. The windows are three-light with chamfered mullions. The building has shaped kneelers, moulded stone coping, and end stacks with moulded cornices. The adjoining block, from the 16th century, has a board door in a chamfered surround with a four-centred arched lintel and a square head to the left, and a double-chamfered three-light window to the right, along with an end stack. Inside, one of the beams is inscribed in red letters: 'Thou that passes by yis way, One Ave Maria here yew say'.
