Description

Single-storey and attic with brick-nogged and square-panelled timber-frame; now corrugated iron roof. Sandstone rebuild of W gable end for a dairy and added brick lean-to beyond; original house may have extended further. S wall has been largely rebuilt in modern brick but retains the original timber-frame below the eaves; also retains the timber doorhead over the main, cross-passage, entrance; one gable dormer to left and a window opening below. The N wall and especially the E end retain the original frame substantially intact; N wall has similar doorhead over a former doorway, now with inset small-pane window. The E end contains one of the two full cruck trusses and a 2-light attic window. Externally the chimney has been removed.

The dwelling is now abandoned and in poor condition.

2-bays, but of unusual plan giving a very narrow service room beyond the passage. Retains two full cruck trusses, one at E end and the other to centre which is heavily smoke-blackened; the purlins are morticed for windbraces and the central truss is cut at the front (N) contemporary with the rebuilding of this wall. A large stone fireplace was later inserted backing onto the passage close to the central truss and at the same time the building was ceiled with simply chamfered beams; a second fireplace was later added. The two staircases suggest that it was once divided into two cottages.
