Spread Eagle

The Spread Eagle is a building from the 17th century or early 18th century, refurbished in the late 19th century. It features colourwashed stone and a slate roof, with one storey and an attic. The structure has two bays, which include a heated living room and a narrow inner room, along with an integral rear wing on the west side that contains the original kitchen stack, forming an 'L'-plan. Attached to the north end is a slightly narrower farm building, now converted into a kitchen, which was further extended in the 19th century to serve as a stable or gig house, now functioning as a garage.

On the north side of the rear wing, there is a 19th-century diagonally boarded four-panelled door leading to a lean-to extension. The building has 19th-century paned casement windows, and a glazed door on the southeast side, likely the original door position. There is one raised dormer for the first-floor chamber, a small full dormer above the inner room, and a smaller raised dormer over the current kitchen. The main living room stack is external, attached to the south gable, featuring three offsets and creasing for the roof, along with a large stone stack for the original kitchen.

Inside, there is a cross beam in the living room and a spine beam in the inner room. The stone stack for the original service room has a very deep timber lintel, and there is a later stair in the wing. The Spread Eagle is included as an interesting example of a sub-medieval L-plan house that has been adapted in the 19th century.
