Description

Gentry house, rubble stone, rendered and partly whitewashed, with steep-pitched slate close-eaved roofs and three stacks to main ridge, stone at W, rendered on ridge and E, 2 stacks to paired-gabled NW wing. Two storeys and attic. N entrance front has double-gabled wing projecting to right, part of the C18 addition (see below). Left, C17 part is 2-window with 2 small hipped dormers, 2 x 12-pane sashes above, one similar window and door below. Sashes appear earlier C19 as is door, half-glazed with marginal glazing bars. 2 narrow sashes to first floor of left end wall. S front is whitewashed and rendered with 2 similar hipped dormers. Projecting stair-gable to right of centre is C20 but repeating the lines of the original stair gable which did not project. 4-pane attic window and two 8-pane sashes each at landing height. Large 12-pane sash each side on ground floor, not evenly spaced and 2 similar to first floor left of gable, window size suggesting late C18 or early C19 alteration. To left is the added C18 house, to roughly similar scale. Whitewashed rubble stone S front, with 2 matching hipped dormers, and 3-window front much offset to right. 3 first floor 12-pane sashes over 20-pane sash, door and 12-pane sash. Door is in C20 rendered hipped porch. Left side of facade has small 4-pane light each floor. Rubble stone W wall. Rear of this section has double-gabled NW wing, possibly a C18 stair wing doubled in size in later C19. E side facing over entrance court has 12-pane sashes to match those on main N front, one above, set centrally over 2 below. N end has one-window range in added right gable.

Two room plan to C17 part, with inserted passage partition inside front door. E end room has moulded plaster cornice. Enclosed stair has turned balusters, closed string and turned column newels, partly renewed, possibly mid C18. Room to right also has moulded cornice. Some 2-panel doors to first floor. C18 house to W was altered internally in C19 as kitchens, and stair parallel to rear wall is probably C19 and not in original position. Wide W end fireplace, covered in. NW wing has one large later C19 room with W slate fireplace.
