Heale House

Heale House is a farmhouse, now a dwelling, dating from the late 16th to early 17th century. It was extended, reroofed, and had its windows changed in the mid-19th century, with further alterations made in the mid-20th century. The building is rendered over rubble, with random rubble returns and an extension on the left featuring a brick stack. The stack to the left of the cross passage has been removed, and there is a rubble stack at the right gable end. The roof is covered with Welsh slate.

The layout consists of two cells and a cross passage, with the left room having a small coeval room at the rear, likely used as a dairy. This area has been extended by one bay to the left and enlarged at the rear with a staircase. The house is two storeys high and has three bays, featuring three-light late 19th-century wooden casements. There is an addition that is unlit on the facade, and a central moulded square-headed surround to a half-glazed studded plank door, which is fronted by a 19th-century gabled porch. A hood mould is present on the right return gable end, possibly dating from the 16th century.

Inside, there is a square-headed chamfered door frame at the rear, steeply chamfered beams with steps and run-out stops, and a chamfered lintel over the right gable end fireplace, which is carved with the date 1637. Winder stairs were formerly located beside the stacks, and the house features 19th-century kingpost roofs. It may have originally been a three-cell and cross passage farmhouse or a longhouse.
