Description

This is a large, two-storey, four structural bay, thatched vernacular farmhouse. The building features a lobby entry type plan, though the through jamb wall has been removed. A modern porch with a flat roof and parapet has been added to the front elevation, which faces east and overlooks the route of a former road. Stone barns to the rear form a courtyard that opens onto the present Moy Road. Access to the building is via a gravelled drive from a gate to the south, which sweeps around to the front of the house.

The walls are finished with wet dash render with smooth plaster detailing at the windows, base, and corners. Four large corner stones in limestone project from the general alignment of the walls at the base of the house. Three chimneys sit on the ridge: one unpainted on the southern gable, one aligning with the entrance door on an inner wall in the last bay from the north, and a third. All are painted and parged out over the thatch. The thatch is scollop fixed with a wrap-over head currently held by an X-pattern of hazel liggers. It sits approximately 100mm above the gables and is parged along the edge, then cut back parallel with the roof along the eaves.

On the front east elevation, the southernmost bay has three windows, the second bay (from the south) contains the porch entrance, a small window sits in the second bay north of the porch, and the remaining bays have two windows each. At ground floor level, the windows are four-pane sashes with horns. At first floor, these align with timber casement windows, which replace metal casements that were recorded at listing. An extra window has been added to the northern bay. Both gables are blank; the northern gable formerly supported a lean-to barn, while the southern gable connects at its south-west corner to an adjacent barn via a 2300mm high wall containing a door opening.

The rear west elevation is dominated by a return located between the second and third structural bays from the southern end. The return features four-pane sashes at both ground and first floor levels, with a fascia on the gable. On the southern side of the return, a small glazed lobby has been added since listing, with the roof extended over it. To the south of the return at ground level sits a single sash window near the corner, while at first floor a six-over-six pane eyebrow sash window with a curved head and steeply pitched thatched roof sits centrally. Though this window is historic, it was not thatched at the time of listing. A similar six-over-six pane eyebrow window with a curved head is located on the northern side of the return at first floor. At ground level on this side there are two doors and two sashes, one being a double sash. A slated rain hood over the door to the northern bay has been added since listing.

The rear barns form a rectangular courtyard and have been recently renovated, with their render removed to expose rubble sandstone behind. A new wing built along the roadside matches this approach and provides additional enclosure to the courtyard space. The barns are slated and fitted with cast iron rainwater goods on projecting bricks. To the south of the house, with a gable parallel to the courtyard, stands a small barn currently in poor condition. It has a corrugated metal roof and large cracks in its walls, with circular openings in each gable and a door and window facing west towards the other barns.

The cast metal gates feature finials and slim bars in a simple, elegant design. They are complemented by square-section tooled sandstone gateposts with pyramid coping, flanked by curbed walls retaining their original wet dash lime render. An Ordnance Survey benchmark is located on the gateposts.
