Fordhay House, With Well 3 Metres To South

Fordhay House, dated 1690, is a house constructed of local stone rubble with stone dressings. It features a Welsh slate roof between coped gables and has brick chimney stacks at both ends of the main block, as well as an intermediate stack for the extension. The building is two stories high and has three bays, with later extensions added to the east.

The windows are hollow chamfered with mullions, fitted with timber casement infills. The ground floor has three-light windows in bays one and three, and a two-light window in bay two. Above, there are casement windows set under exposed timber lintels. The entrance door, which is old and boarded, is located between bays two and three and is protected by a double hipped porch with a lead roof from the 19th century, supported by four cast-iron columns.

The extension has three bays, with two of them constructed using larger stones, and is separated by a coped gable on the east side. The 19th-century casement windows have segmental arched heads and heavy stone lintels above. On the east kneeler gable stone of the main block, the initials K or R and the date 1690 are incised.

On the west side, facing the road, there is a mounting block and steps. According to local tradition, the house was formerly an inn. Additionally, there is a well located about 3 meters south of the first extension, which is approximately 11 meters deep to the water, with old random stone walls below ground and a 20th-century wall above ground.
