Description
This building is a farmhouse that has been converted into a farm outbuilding. It dates back to 1697, although it incorporates earlier elements from the 17th century, along with alterations and additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. The structure is partially rendered and painted rubble stone, featuring ashlar dressings, and is topped with a 20th-century corrugated sheet roof.
The southeast elevation is two storeys high and consists of three bays with a central entry plan that has been altered internally. The doorway is now partially blocked and has a moulded ashlar surround. The lintel above the doorway bears the inscription "I.H. A.H. 1697" and is complemented by a continuous drip mould that extends to the ends of the elevation. Above this, there is a blocked shallow 2-light chamfer mullion window on the northeast side. The moulding is interrupted by a 20th-century stable door with an overlight and continues over a small blocked light, which may have been a fire window. On the southwest side, the moulding shelters a 4x3 pane window in a plain stone surround. Above the doorway, there is a 20th-century inserted taking-in doorway. On the northeast side, above the lower mullioned window, there is a matching blocked 2-light mullion window, along with two additional blocked tall rectangular openings, one in each end bay. The gable elevations are partially or completely obscured by attached outbuildings.
The northwest side wall features a single-storey lean-to from the late 18th century, which includes a 2-light mullion window in its side wall and a stone-framed doorway at its southwest end. Inside, each end bay contains a hearth, both dating around 1700. The hearth in the southwest bay has a bolection-moulded surround and cornice shelf, while the northeast bay features jowelled jambs, a deep lintel, and a cornice shelf. There is a suspended floor at the southwest end, along with a chamfered hearth beam with plain steps. The roof carpentry has not been inspected but is reported to be of single through-purlin construction, with wind-bracing in the central bays.
