Description

Hareslade is a three-unit, two-storey house built from whitened rubble stone and topped with slate roofs. The upper storey of the western unit was raised later in brick, resulting in a lower roof line. The house features stone stacks at the eastern end and to the left of the centre, with a brick stack at the western end. The southern front displays irregularly spaced windows, all with flat heads and stone sills. Butt joints indicate where the flanking units were added to the original 17th-century unit. The central and eastern units have four-pane and six-pane sash windows, with two on the lower storey and three on the upper storey. The western unit has two two-casement windows on each storey. There is a late 20th-century lean-to at the western end, which includes a small garden porch. The rear of the house features two single-storey lean-tos, one of which is a dairy on the eastern side, complete with a planked door and multipane window. The central lean-to also has a doorway, and there are two small casement windows on the upper storey of the eastern and western units.

Inside, the central hall contains a 17th-century stone fireplace on the western side, featuring a cambered timber lintel with a slight chamfer. A recess in the fireplace leads to a large bread oven. The ceiling has joist beams with moulded joists and hooks for hanging bacon, while the floor is made of flagstones. In the eastern room, there is a stone fireplace with quoins. A spiral wooden staircase has replaced a former straight timber stair that was located against the western wall. To the north, there is a former lean-to dairy with evidence of former benches along the walls. The rafters have curved feet and sockets for two purlins, possibly originating from the original 17th-century roof of the house. The converted western unit now houses the main staircase, along with the added lean-to at the western end.
