Description

The single-storey and attic range has mostly rubble walls and steep corrugated iron roof (probably originally stone tile); C19 alterations include brick plinth to left beneath weatherboarding, larger windows and altered doorway. Rubble chimney (partly fallen in) opposite the entry. Square panelled construction, gable-ended wing stepped up to right; rubble lateral chimney stack to downhill end with weatherboarding beyond where plinth has fallen away. Black-and-white rear gable of wing retains square-panelled infill. Lean-to at rear opposite the chimney; rear wall partly collapsed. Late C19 cowhouse stepped out beyond; the front has alternate loft openings and doors.

The earlier part is of lobby-entry plan with one (smoke blackened) cruck couple beside the massive stepped chimney and the other, to the right hand end of the hall, incorporated into the side wall of the cross wing; original tie and collar beams removed. Large open fireplace with brick-lined bread oven, timber lintel with step stop. Similarly chamfered and stopped main beam, exposed joists. Partial remains of diamond-mullion window frame in rear stone wall. Cross wing has step stopped spine beam and scroll stopped wall beams supporting the joists ends. Wattle and daub partition infill, boarded door and winder stair. Evidence for two original mullion windows set within the framing of the east wall and south gable.

Now (1992) in a poor structural condition.
