Pear Tree House

Pear Tree House is a house dating from the early to mid-18th century. It is built of coursed rubble with a stone slate roof and has two storeys, originally featuring a cellar and loft, with two bays. The house has a plinth and quoins, and a central part-glazed door set beneath a stone lintel. There are three-light flat-faced mullion windows framed in architraves, and the building is adorned with elaborately-shaped kneelers and moulded coping. It has end stacks, and the rear elevation consists of three bays with two-light chamfered mullion windows in the outer bays. There is a blocked central cellar window beneath a Venetian landing window in an architrave, which retains its original leaded outer lights.

On the right side of the house, there is a six-panel door in a chamfered quoined ashlar surround, and to its right, a chamfered surround for a small opening that was formerly a post box when the house served as a post office. There is also a chamfered single-light window in the gable.

Inside, the doors are made of six fielded panels with L hinges, and there are seats beneath all front windows. In the ground-floor room to the right, there is an inglenook fireplace with a seat along the baffle from the side entry, along with spice and salt boxes in the rear wall, both featuring fielded-panel doors. The dairy, located at the rear left, has stone shelves, and there is a stone dogleg staircase with column-on-vase balusters.
