The Old Smithy

The Old Smithy is a two-storey house featuring a pebble-dashed exterior and a slate roof with roughcast short end stacks. The front has square 6-pane hopper windows, with one on each floor to the left of a half-glazed door, and one on each floor to the right, positioned further from the door. There is an additional window on the first floor further right, located above the left side of a broad square-headed cart-shed opening. The windows have tooled stone sills, and there is a letterbox in the wall to the right of the door.

The smithy section is constructed from whitewashed rubble and has a slate roof that aligns with the house's ridge and eaves line, although it has a slightly different pitch. The facade of the smithy is angled from the house front and features two broad boarded loft openings under the eaves, along with a broad cambered-headed shuttered window on each side of a segmental-arched central doorway that has a boarded door. The lower openings are adorned with stone voussoirs and stone sills, and the right corner is curved. The right end wall is whitewashed and includes a small stone gable stack, with a lean-to at the rear.

Inside the smithy, it is reported that the original hearth and stone floors are still intact.
