Smothits

Smothits is a house dating from the late 18th century. It has a roughcast exterior and a stone slate roof. The building is two storeys high and features three bays on the left and one bay on the right. The left side of the house has a central part-glazed door with an overlight, set within an ashlar surround that has splayed bases. The windows on the ground floor are modern casements framed by architraves, while the first floor has smaller casement windows. To the right of the house, there are board garage doors with a modern casement window above. The property has shaped kneelers and ashlar copings, with chimney stacks at both ends and to the right side. The name "Smothits" comes from the local pronunciation of "Smorthwaite," a family that were benefactors to the village. The house is included for its group value.
