Galch Hill

Small storeyed end chimney house, formerly of inside cross-passage plan and with near-contemporary rear wing producing an L-plan. Of whitened rubble construction with vertically-studded, timber-framed first floor and renewed slate roof with slab copings to the gable ends; plain quadrant kneelers to the R (and both sides to the rear). Large projecting end chimneys with slated gables. Symmetrical facade with central entrance via 2 modern segmental steps; modern part-glazed door with exposed timber lintel. Three-light flanking wooden mullioned windows with leaded glazing and exposed timber lintels. To the L of the entrance is a modern plaque recording the birthplace of Thomas and Hugh Myddleton. The upper floor has black painted studding and whitened brick infill. Two-light leaded windows breaking the eaves and contained within gabled wooden dormers with oversailing eaves, plain bargeboards and spiked finials. Modern windows to rear wing, and a modern porch addition extruded in the angle of the R chimney breast. In front of this the original well has been uncovered; this now has a modern stone parapet.

Beamed ceilings to former hall (L) and parlour (R), with broach-stopped main beams and stopped-chamfered joists (some to the latter modern replacements). Large fireplace to the hall with flat chamfered bressummer. Tudor-arched wooden entrance to the rear, leading to the secondary wing which also has a beamed, chamfered ceiling. Plain C19 straight-flight stair to the upper floor (this and the entrance hall occupying part of the former hall).
