Description
Long gabled rubble range with squared quoins to the down-hill (E) gable and continuous old slate roof. Projecting lateral chimney breast to L (stack removed) with blocked entrance to R and window above, now reduced to a ventilation slit. Large late C19 slate-lintelled opening to R with plain window openings to ground and first floors beyond, that to the ground floor blocked. To the R of this is a further entrance with slate lintel and boarded stable doors within a wooden frame; small, flanking primary window openings, that to the L almost at ground level. Further entrance to stable door to R, with expressed lintel as before. Large modern (?) sloping buttress to the rear, with a small projecting lateral chimney to the L, a later (C18) addition. Slit-vents to the E gable, formerly large ground and first-floor primary windows; boarded upper loading bay to W gable end.
Adjoining to the N at the E end, and forming an L with the main range, a later and slightly lower one-and-a-half storey block; construction as before with large squat stack to the N gable end, with pronounced weathercoursing. The (original) lateral chimney of the primary block is now contained within this addition; large C20 opening to the farmyard side. Entrance to the E side with recessed, boarded door, and single ground and first floor windows to the R, the former with slatted shutter and the latter plain-glazed.
8-bay roof with simple and roughly-scantled, pegged collar trusses with laid-on purlins and original ridge. The floor level of the four western bays is slightly raised and a later three-quarter rubble-walled partition divides bay 7; scratch-graffiti and date 1719 appears on the truss dividing bays 3 and 4. There is evidence of a blocked window on the S wall, with a blocked entrance and a further blocked window to the R. Here, at ground level, is a small lateral fireplace, the lintel of which is a re-used cyclopean door-head. On the N wall, the primary lateral chimney to the former hall is visible, though walled-up; large flat oak bressummer; dressed stone reveals. To the R of this a walled-up entrance, possibly to a former mural stair associated with the chimney breast. The stopped-chamfered ceiling beam dividing bays 4 and 5 survives; the remainder have been sawn off at the wall, though the stops are mostly visible. Some lime-hair plaster and colour-washes survive on the walls.
Large double fireplace to adjoining range with deep stone lintels; modern ceiling.
