The Old House

The Old House is a two-storey cottage built from rubble stone, featuring a steeply pitched roof that has been renewed with slate, replacing the original stone tiles. The cottage has end stone stacks. The doorway is located to the left of center and has a timber lintel with a boarded and ribbed door. To the left of the doorway is an inserted casement window, while a renewed casement window is positioned to the right, both in earlier openings. The first-floor beam ends are exposed on the front wall. Above, there is a window offset to the right beneath the wall plate, which has restored diamond mullions.

To the left side of the cottage, there is a one-storey L-plan range known as the smithy, which has late 20th-century inserted openings. Although not inspected during the survey in September 1997, it is reported that the interior contains a flagged through passage flanked by two post-and-panel partitions with Tudor-arched door frames. The south gable is said to retain an open chimney breast with a chamfered lintel and a turning stone stair to its left. The cottage features chamfered beams that were inserted during a 17th-century conversion, and cruck-blades have been recorded as visible at the first floor level.
