Description

Storeyed house, a long 3-window range. Whitened rubble with boulder foundations; modern slate roof, the gable parapets removed. Central and an end chimney (to L), the former originally a projecting end chimney defining the end of the primary block. Off-centre primary entrance (to R) with projecting slate dripstone; C19 4-pane sash within an original opening with dripstone as before; further, similar entrance and window to R. At the far L are 2 modern windows; two 4-pane sashes to the first floor of the primary section and a modern window to the additional section. The rear has a boarded door and 2-and 4-pane late Victorian sashes. C19 single-storey dairy or brewhouse addition at the L, forming an L-plan with the main house; plain end chimney and modern porch addition to the L return. Large modern lean-to extension with modern gabled dormer above.

Cross-passage plan, originally with opposing entrances. The former hall has a heavily-beamed ceiling, framed in three ways with stopped-chamfering; slate-flagged floor. Wide fireplace with segmental arch of tall stone voussoirs. A former newel stair, to the L of the fireplace was cut through to create a lobby entry, and presumably therefore already existed when the house was extended. In the hall is a simple portable pulpit of rectangular form with a tall post at one side. It is of ash wood (?) and of probable late C18 date; a cut-out in the ceiling relates to where the post slotted into place during services. The roof is entirely modern.
