Description

Armada House is a house that was formerly a manor house, built in the late 16th century. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with ironstone dressings and features an old tile roof along with stone and rendered stacks. The building has an L-plan layout, with a projecting gabled bay on the left side that is two storeys high, and four bays to the right that are one storey with an attic.

The entrance is located in the second bay from the left and features a wooden lintel and a plank door. To the left of the entrance is a four-light window with stone mullions and transoms, topped by a wide moulded entablature. Above this window is a weathered stone tablet in a moulded frame, which is noted to have been inscribed with the date 1588. To the right of the doorway, there are three-light stone mullioned and transomed windows with square hoods. The second bay from the right has a two-light casement window with a stone lintel, while the right bay has a light stone mullioned window with a square hood. On the first floor, the left bay features a three-light stone mullioned and transomed window, and there are two-light casement windows with wooden lintels above the entrance.

There are three half dormers on the right side, each with coped gables and kneelers, and the windows in these dormers include a centre two-light window flanked by three-light windows. The right gable end is coped and has kneelers. A massive stack is located on the left side of the house, with a second stack positioned between the second and third bays from the left. At the rear, there is a wing that projects from the right side, dating from the 16th or 17th century, built with similar materials and consisting of two storeys and one bay. This wing features a two-light stone mullioned window on the ground floor and a two-light casement window with a wooden lintel above, along with a coped gable end and kneelers.

The interior has not been inspected but is noted to have original stone fireplaces and moulded beams.
