Description
The Old Forge and attached outbuilding is a house that was originally a forge, dating from 1792. It is built of squared coursed ironstone and features a Collyweston slate roof. The building has a three-unit plan and stands two storeys tall. The front has a three-window range of 19th-century casements, each set under gauged stone heads with keyblocks. To the right of the centre, there is a 19th-century plank door, also with a gauged stone head and keyblock. The left gable has an ashlar parapet, and there are brick stacks at the ridge and end of the building. The attached outbuilding to the left was originally the forge and features a narrow horizontal window with bars and a gauged stone head with a keyblock. There is also a blocked carriage arch with a segmental head, which has an arched recess beneath a chamfered plinth, likely used originally as a water trough. The interior has not been inspected.
