Description

Long building range of limewashed, coursed rubble, single storey, with a corrugated tin sheet roof. According to Anthony Dolwion, originally a small dwelling flanked by woollen workshops, the structure consists of 3 connected sections beneath a single roof line. The long N section covers roughly half of the length of the building. A small 4-pane fixed timber casement is located immediately R of the N angle. Further along, a short section of wall is set back from the rest of the line. R of this section is a matching 4-pane casement, adjoining the L of an entrance comprising paired boarded timber doors. The middle section was the original dwelling, and has a marginal glazed casement window L, and 4-pane casement R flanking a small boarded timber door with a stone step. The R section, marginally higher, has a small 4-pane casement immediately L of a similar pair of boarded timber doors.

Divided into 2 sections, with the original dwelling flanked by workshops. The L section contains a compressed earthen floor, and the original rough hewn timber roof trusses, pegged at the joints, supports a series of branches used as purlins. Over these rests a fine layer of thin branches supporting a decaying straw thatch roof, concealed externally by the modern corrugated sheets. The centre and R section have been joined internally, with two short lengths of boarded internal wall surviving towards the N side. No thatch survives here. The former central section retains the original roof trusses, but the R section has much later machine-cut roof timbers - replacing the original structure.
