Description
Vipoint House and Airton Cottage is a house built in 1666 and later. It features coursed rubble and a stone slate roof and is two storeys high. The original part of the house is wider and has an entrance through its gable end, which now projects beyond an 18th-century extension on the lane side. This original section has chamfered windows on the north side, including one with one light and another with four lights below, and two windows with three lights above. The south side has similar windows. All ground floor windows have hoodmoulds. The doorway is elliptical headed and chamfered, with a lintel carved with "I W V 1666" and topped by a hoodmould. Above the doorway is a cyma-mouthed two-light chamfered window with a hoodmould. The gable and the haves on the north side contain pigeon holes. There is a blocked first-floor cupboard window on the north side and another with an arched head on the south side. The extension has various windows, with the oldest appearing to be two first-floor windows on the north side with two lights and recessed flat-faced mullions. Similar three-light windows are found on the south side of the main block, likely altered during the time of the extension. The interior has not been inspected but may be of interest.
