• II

Farmhouse of late C18 (possibly part rebuild of that date). Ham stone squared and random coursed, with ashlar dressings, with Welsh slated roof between coped gables, with end chimney stacks (rebuilt in ? reconstructed stone). A 2-storey 3-bay facade, with central projecting Roman Doric porch with full entablature and flat roof, protecting an inappropriate late C20 front door: to the sides at both levels 3-light hollow chamfer mullioned windows with label mouldings and rectangular leaded panes, and above the entrance door a matching 2-light window. The side elevation shows that the roof is double, otherwise the other elevations are unremarkable. The interior not seen. The stable/coach house in the grounds much altered and not included in the listing, but the local stone boundary walls are included (these average 1.5 metres high) including the lower wall along Tintinhull Road, which for about 10 metres length has wrot iron railings with arrowheads, scroll braces, and urn finials at intervals, being about I metre high on a 500mm high stone base.
