Description

Merryweathers is a house built in 1730 or 1736, as indicated by the chimney stack, with 19th-century alterations and a roof replacement in 1912. The structure features a cruck frame encased in coursed sandstone rubble and has a pantile roof, along with brick and stone stacks. It has a 3-cell, hearth-passage plan and is 1½ storeys high with a three-window front.

To the right of the center, there is a 20th-century board door with a fire window to the left, and a 20th-century glazed door at the far left. The remaining windows are horizontal-sliding sashes, with three lights in the center and two lights at the end right. The attic has three raked dormers, each with three-light horizontal-sliding sashes. The stacks are located at the ends and right of center. A datestone on the stack is inscribed with "G I B 1730/6?"

Inside, there is a plank door in the left wall of the cross passage with a bifurcated strap hinge, and another plank door to the right with butterfly hinges. Both rooms to the right feature chamfered beams with run-out stops. On the first floor, a pair of saddle apex upper crucks is visible in the wall between the two rooms to the right.
