Description
Three-unit, 2-storey house, of whitened rubble stone under slate roofs. The upper storey of the W unit was raised in brick later, and the roof line is lower. Stone stacks to E end and L of centre, brick stack to W end. The S front has irregularly spaced windows, all under flat heads with stone sills. Butt joints mark the addition of the flanking units to the original C17 unit. Four-pane and 6-pane sashes to central and E unit, 2 to lower storey and 3 to upper storey. The W-unit has two 2-casement windows to each storey. Late C20 lean-to at W end with small garden porch. The rear of the house has 2 single-storey lean-tos, including a dairy to the E with planked door and multipane window. The central lean-to also has a doorway. Two small casement windows to upper storey, to E and W units.
The central hall contains a C17 stone fireplace to the W, which has a cambered timber lintel with slight chamfer. In the S side of the fireplace is a recess leading to a large bread oven. Joist beam ceiling with moulded joists, and hooks for hanging bacon. Flagstone floor. In the E room is a stone fireplace with quoins. A spiral wooden staircase has replaced a straight timber stair, formerly against the W wall. To the N is a former lean-to dairy with evidence for former benches against the walls. The rafters have curved feet and sockets for 2 purlins; they may have come from the original C17 roof of the house. The converted W unit now contains the main staircase. Added lean-to at W end.
