Tub Hole

A farmhouse, likely dating to the late 17th or early 18th century, and subsequently enlarged and altered. It is now used as an educational hostel. The farmhouse is constructed of white-painted random rubble with quoins, and has a stone slate roof. The building forms an L-shape, comprising a single-depth, two-unit main range oriented north-south (perpendicular to the slope) facing west, a rear wing attached to the second unit, and a lean-to addition at the south end. The front elevation has two storeys and three windows, with a small gabled porch between the first and second windows, one square window to the left, and two to the right; above are three rectangular windows. All windows have recently replaced cruciform casements. The north gable wall is stepped above ground floor and features a rectangular window on the ground floor and a small square window above. The south gable wall, largely hidden by a large lean-to containing a doorway and window, has small corbels below an unextruded square gable chimney. The rear wing has one window on each floor of its north side and one at ground floor of its gable wall, all now with altered glazing. Inside the housepart to the right, two large lateral beams are visible; the remainder of the interior was not inspected.
