Hops House And Byre

Hops House and byre is a building dated 1646, featuring later alterations. It is constructed of coursed watershot rubble with a stone slate roof and consists of two storeys under one roof, with a slightly projecting stair turret at the rear. The building has a plinth and quoins.

The house section has two first-floor windows and a central doorway with a boarded door. To the right of this doorway is a second doorway that has a 17th-century chamfered quoined surround, with an inscription on the lintel reading 'SE 16 M B S 46 TW F I' and 'T C' on the jamb, also with a boarded door. Above this doorway is a small window with a chamfered surround. The two ground-floor windows have fixed frames with glazing bars and six panes each. The first-floor windows feature sash frames with marginal glazing bars, also with six panes. There is an end stack to the left and a ridge stack located between the first doorway and the second window.

The byre to the right has steps leading up to a boarded first-floor door, which is set beneath a lintel made from the head of a two-light mullioned window. Another similar lintel is used as a step. There is also a boarded door beneath these steps. On the right gable, there is a chamfered single-light window on the ground floor.
