Description

Tall, storeyed end chimney house of local limestone rubble (formerly rendered) with renewed slate roof. The chimneys project and have coped gables; renewed capping to stacks and simple weathercoursing. Three window front with near-centre entrance via modern porch of rubble and slate; glazed outer doors and newly-introduced 9-panel mid-Victorian pine door, the upper panels glazed. Slightly-recessed 30-pane sash windows of second-quarter C19 character, though all modern replacements. Storeyed modern addition recessed slightly to R, with porch as before and small-pane window above. Further storeyed addition to rear, with flat roof and modern windows; small-pane window to rear of primary block at R, as before.

Heavily-moulded main cross-beams to former hall (R of entrance), of third-quarter C16 character. These are carried on stone corbels at the wall and support finely stopped-chamfered joists; chamfered bressummer to large gable end fireplace. Similar cross-framing to former parlour (L), interrupted by later partitioning. Further moulded beam to upper chamber, formerly open to the roof. A stopped-chamfered entrance and chamfered ceiling joists relate to a C17 intervention. Three-bay roof with two arched-braced collar trusses with quatrefoil and trefoil decoration; that to the R (hall end) was originally a partition truss with post-and-panel screen below (mortising evidence).
