Description

Coursed local rubble stone, with slate roofs. Slate hung to the rear. The present main range is of 3 storeys, 3 bays, with a late C19 4-panelled door and overlight within a small cantilevered gabled canopy. C19 timber windows of 6 panes with central iron casement on a quadrant stay. Gable stacks. The forward wing, which could be earlier, is of 2 bays, with gable 5-light window replacing an ovolo moulded window referred to by Haslam. Door to front bay on side, with open timber porch. Cellar under the central bay. Added to the side of the wing are two contiguous gabled service wings, the front having a semi-circular headed date stone reading ATHELSTAIN / OWEN:ESQR / WALL'D:THIS / HOVSE:ROUND / IN THE:YEAR / 1719. The first letter and last digit unclear. The rear upper portion of this addition was probably a seed grain store.

Not accessible at time of inspection (August 1996). Said (see References below) to have the main front door opening into a later stair. To the left, in the main range, a parlour at the S end, later a kitchen, with bracket moulded cross ceiling beams. The present kitchen in the forward wing has an ornate moulded ceiling and enriched faces to the posts. Post and panel partition with incised mouldings at junction of two ranges, with original doorway. Ceiling with counterchanged joists in main chamber above. Roof is plain, with windbraces to the trusses over the main range.
