Description

This is a two-part property consisting of a house and adjoining barn range. The house dates to the late medieval period, with later alterations and additions, while the barn range incorporates elements from the 17th and 18th centuries. The house is built of rubble construction, with the main elevation whitened, and features a timber-framed core. The roofs are slate, with corrugated iron sections on the barn. The house has an irregular T-shaped plan, with a cross-wing to the left featuring a gabled stack. A modern porch addition wraps around the left corner, with the main entrance on its right return. A similar porch on the rear angles between the two wings, supported by a brick pillar. The rear elevation has two modern windows in late 19th-century openings, and the long side elevation has three windows on each floor.

To the right of the house, stepped down, is a barn, currently used as a store. It has a boarded entrance on the left and two modern entrances, one double-width, to the rear. Attached to the right is a later 17th-century barn section, also of rubble construction, with a corrugated iron roof and exposed collar truss in its weather-boarded gable. This barn has an advanced lower wing with a corrugated iron roof.

The primary barn section contains a full cruck roof construction (an arched, braced collar truss), with the upper collar supported on raking struts and a squat king strut above. There are cusped windbraces, and evidence of former wall plates and wall posts, some of which have been replaced, along with replaced purlins. The truss incorporates a triple-arched service partition at its lower section, originally a closed partition truss, featuring a central shouldered arch and flanking chamfered pointed arches below a moulded beam. The house's roof space has two further trusses, one of which is ornate. The main ground-floor room (hall) has a plastered main beam and a chamfered bressumer to the ceiling and fireplace respectively.
