Description

This is a house, likely dating to the 18th century, with later alterations and additions. The exterior is painted roughcast with an imitation-slate roof and small 20th-century chimney stacks at the ends. The building has an irregular arrangement of bays and features renewed small-pane sash windows. A two-story rubble stone porch is situated towards the left side, with a hipped roof, a 9-pane sash window on the first floor, and an elliptical-arched entrance with stone voussoirs. A flat-headed door provides access within the porch. To the left of the porch are two closely-spaced sash windows on each floor, with 12 panes above and 12 and 16 panes below. The left ground floor window appears to be where a doorway once stood, opposite the former rear door. To the right of the porch are three 12-pane sash windows on the first floor, a French window on the ground floor left, and a 16-pane sash window to the right. The right end wall features a 16-pane sash window, while a rubble stone lean-to is attached to the left end. The rear elevation is of rubble stone, with a large rear wing containing the staircase. The left side has truncated remains of a lateral chimney, stepped on the left. The rear wing is painted roughcast with a 12-pane sash window on each floor to the left, a similar window at mid-height to the right to light the staircase, and a 20th-century glazed door located left of centre. A remarkable curved-shouldered external chimney breast with a large round chimney, characteristic of the Pembrokeshire style, is situated in the angle to the right of the wing. To the right of this chimney breast is a lean-to porch over a former doorway with a pointed head and stone voussoirs, now serving as a window. Attached to the corner of the house and extending back is an altered rubble stone outbuilding with a close-eaved roof. It includes a board door to the left, a uPVC door to the left of centre, a uPVC window above the uPVC door, a small first-floor window to the right (all 20th-century), and a painted roughcast single-storey L-plan range, all also of the 20th century.

The interior consists of an entrance hall with a staircase at the end, a room to the left, and a larger room to the right. The room to the left features a 1984 pine beam, rough square joists, and a lateral fireplace on the east wall with a massive slab lintel and stone voussoirs. To the left of the fireplace is an original doorway, now a window, with a pointed head and cut stone voussoirs. A cambered doorway with rough stone voussoirs is located on the north wall. The hall also has a beam. The staircase, restored in 1984, has two flights with a short link between. It features twisted balusters, now three per tread, with some replacements inserted to fill gaps. The moulded rail is of a 17th-century style, incorporating a high rounded top and incised decoration. The square newel posts are Jacobean style, with small squares displaying alternately a faceted square or a circle with short arms within the square, capped with moulded caps and ball finials on pedestals. The larger room to the right of the hall was not inspected. Reportedly, it contains beams and arches. The roof is said to have been largely replaced even before the 1984 restoration work.
