Description
The house is built of sandstone rubble, but it is completely painted over, natural slate roofs. Single depth cross-passage plan. Single storey and attic. Yard elevation: This is in three visual bays, but they correspond only roughly with the planning of the house. The left hand end is covered by the projecting wing which has a door in the gable end and three modern windows on the long wall. The central bay is covered entirely by a very shallow modern extension, which has two windows and the front door to the right. The right hand bay has a modern top opening light under an oak lintel. Steeply pitched roof with three small probably C20 gabled dormers with top opening lights; two stone stacks one in the centre backing onto the cross-passage. Rear elevation: On the left the wall is blind, then a 2-light casement under a timber lintel which has been fitted into the cross-passage doorway, then a tiny window and in the original house a modern wide patio door and another casement window. There is a rooflight above the door.
The cross-passage is entered through the old doorway inside the modern extension. It has plastered walls with a window in the end wall. On the left is the original front doorway in a chamfered ashlar frame (Fox and Raglan) now plastered over. The living room has four deep crossbeams with chamfers and bar and run-out (Wern-hir) stops. The far wall retains its fine oak post-and-panel screen including doorway with 4-centred head, but the door has been replaced; stone spiral firestair which forks at the top, the inner room remains as a small study. The added parlour has a 4 x 3 compartmented ceiling stopped and chamfered in each direction; partly reconstructed stone fireplace with chamfered jambs. The upper floor has cruck/principals of different types over the two parts of the house, the later ones of lighter scantling; oak doorframe and plank door at stair head.
