Huds House And Attached Barn

A farmhouse with an attached barn, likely originating in the 17th century and remodelled in the late 17th or early 18th century, with later alterations. The building is constructed from random rubble with quoins, and has a stone slate roof. It has an irregular L-shaped plan, comprising a two-unit main range, a rear outshut to the centre and west portions, and a long barn range forming a rear wing.

The exterior is two storeys high. A prominent, storeyed porch dominates the centre, featuring a narrow square-headed doorway, a stone slate cornice, stone side benches, and a chamfered axial beam. The western side wall of the porch has an unusual oblong projection at first-floor level, while the eastern side has a nine-pane fixed window. To the left of the porch, the main range has a rubble relieving arch over two altered ground-floor windows, a narrow single-light window, a stone bench ("bink") beneath the windows, and a square first-floor window. A similar arrangement is present to the right of the porch, with a relieving arch over a two-light casement, a smaller four-pane window, and an oblong and square first-floor window, the latter featuring a re-used lintel. A large chimney stack with battering and stone slate offsets is on the left gable, while a large square, corbelled chimney is on the right. The gable walls show evidence of a formerly very steeply-pitched roof, and the left gable has two small, blocked attic windows flanking the chimney. The rear outshuts were built in two phases, with the central section being earlier and containing a chamfered single-light window in the dairy. The barn wing has through-stones in all three walls. The east side has an inserted domestic window, a doorway with a cornice, a blocked loading doorway above and to the right, and a small square opening near the end. The west side includes a small lean-to.

Inside, a thick stone lateral partition wall divides the left side of the building. A 19th-century partition was inserted to the right. Stop-chamfered joists are visible over the passage, and the room to the right appears to have had a former sleeping loft. The left room has a tall, segmental-arched fireplace with rubble voussoirs, while the right-hand room has an 18th-century stone fireplace with a corbelled lintel, and a bread oven to the left.
