The Old Smithy

A lofted house in white-painted rubble stonework, with restored slate roof. Large chimney at north. The stonework of the north and south gables rises a little above the roof plane, and is uncoped; there are projecting stones on the sides of the chimney stack, suggesting former thatch. Modern joinery, including dormer window at rear. Oven at rear with flagstone roof; iron sheeted lean-to roof adjacent.

A small service extension to the east elevation is in similar materials with a lower eaves level; brick end chimney, modern door and windows. Large recent west wing added to house in similar style: small-pane door and windows; dormers.

The former smithy attached to the north is single storey, refenestrated. White-painted stonework and low-pitch slate roof. An originally open-fronted bay at the north end of the smithy is now glazed to serve as a sunroom. Modern double garage block added corner to corner at right-angles with the north end of the former smithy range.

In the house part there is a large hearth at the north gable end, and between units there is a timber-framed partition with one original and one later doorway.

In the former smithy there are the remains of the original forge, mostly rebuilt.
