Description

The front faces SW and is of one storey with semi-attics, with roughcast walls and slate roofs. At the rear the timber-framing is partly visible, with squarish panels and one small diagonal brace between corner-post and roof- plate. At the rear, the outshuts are continuous and have artificial stone-slate roofs. There is one modern dormer window in the main roof. The large stone chimneystack at the back of the hall is heavily repaired.

The LH (NW) room has a chamfered ceiling beam with pyramidal stops. It is entered through a fine original partition with a pair of doorways with arched heads (one blocked) retaining one original door also with arched head. The original hall is entered through a similar original partition, containing one of an original pair of very wide arched openings (the other was in a part now removed). The staircase is early or mid 18th-century with turned oak balusters. The hall ceiling has been inserted, with longitudinal beams supported on brackets (all defaced) against the parlour and upon a cross-beam supported on posts. The inner room is partitioned off as before, and has timber-framing visible in its rear wall. There are chamfered ceiling beams inserted on edge upon brackets, one retaining its quadruple roll mouldings. The upper storey of the framing alluded to is said to have a scratch-moulded window (blocked).
