The Old House

The Old House is a house dated 1690, with parts that are earlier. It is built of coursed squared ironstone with limestone dressings and has a tile roof featuring ornamental ridge tiles. The building has brick end stacks on stone bases and a stone ridge stack. It has a three-unit plan, is two storeys tall with an attic, and has a three-window range. There is a six-panel door located to the right of centre, accompanied by a straight-joint. The door is framed by a moulded wood surround, a timber lintel, and a gabled hood supported by brackets.

Throughout the house, there are two-light flat-faced stone mullion windows with moulded sills. Gabled dormers above each bay interrupt the eaves, with a plaque inscribed "F/WT" in the gable of the left dormer and a datestone inscribed "1690" in the gable of the middle dormer. To the left of the door, there is a stone panel with a blank upright raised oval, which may have been a blocked window, and two one-light cellar windows with plain stone jambs and lintels. The gables are stone coped with kneelers.

At the rear, there is a stair turret and an outbuilding range converted into office and accommodation. Inside, the house features a bar-stop-chamfered spine beam, two open fireplaces with moulded bressumers, a moulded stone fireplace with a straight head, two eared 18th-century stone chimneypieces, and a dog-leg staircase with serpentine splat balusters. The roof has a collar truss design.
