Description
This is a farmhouse, likely dating back to the 17th century, with later additions and alterations. The main south-facing range is built of rendered and whitewashed stone, with timber-framed internal partitions, and has a slate roof. A lower, one-and-a-half storey extension adjoins it to the left, while a two-storey kitchen wing sits at the rear; a three-storey staircase enclosure occupies the north-east angle. A modern conservatory has been added to the north-east angle. The main range features a large, projecting end-chimney with a ribbed brickwork stack on the right, and a smaller projecting end-chimney with a square brickwork stack at the gable. A rear lateral chimney, constructed of stone with two diagonally placed square brickwork stacks, is located where the main range meets the rear wing.
The front elevation presents an asymmetrical arrangement of three windows, with an additional ground-floor window to the left, beneath a lean-to. All windows are 19th-century four-pane sashes. The tandem extension has two irregularly spaced windows and a catslide dormer, added in the 20th century. A gabled porch with a planked door is located on the right side of the main range. A date stone marked 1698, bearing the initials M / R S, is set high on the front elevation. A small gable window is present in the main range's attic, overlooking the extension, and three 19th-century windows are set into the right gable overlooking the rear.
The rear wing includes a 16-pane sash window on the first floor, a blind attic window above, and a modern window beneath. A 17th-century four-light oak-mullion window with ovolo moulding is located on the east side of the wing.
The staircase enclosure has a gable facing east, with two modern windows and a door on the north side.
The kitchen wing, believed to be the oldest part of the house, shows moulded ceiling beams both above and below. A plastered date of 1641, bearing the initials CG, is visible above a bedroom window; it is possible this feature has been relocated from the kitchen below.
Features in the front range, likely added in the late 17th century, include a staircase in the north-east angle serving two upper floors, featuring heavy handrails on twisted balusters, partially swept up to large, oblong, and panelled newels. A smaller secondary staircase is situated at the rear of the front range's west extension, rising from a small lobby with a wainscot door. A wainscot door also provides access to the bedroom over the kitchen from the landing of the main staircase.
The front range extension to the side has a two-panel door, likely dating from the late 17th or early 18th century, and a split boarded pulpit-door with a shelf on the lower leaf.
