The Great House (including attached Flanking Ranges)

The Great House is a two-storey house, likely dating from the 17th century, originally consisting of two units. It is situated with attached flanking ranges. The front elevation is roughcast, while the rear is limewashed rubble. The steeply pitched roof is slated, originally thatched. There are three ashlar chimney stacks – two gable and one axial. The front ground floor has a central doorway with a later door and hood. All windows have been replaced within the last forty years, with a pair of large twelve-pane sashes with horns to the left of the door and a matching window to the right-hand side. The first floor has five twelve-pane sashes with horns. The rear elevation of the main range features a lateral chimney to the original hall, now blocked and incorporating a new staircase.

To the east end of the main house is a one-and-a-half storey crossrange aligned north-south, with a gable chimney stack and a stair outshut to the west side. The gable end is unlit. This crossrange has later fenestration and openings, with a dormer and a lean-to extension on the east side. To the west end of the main range is a one-and-a-half storey, three-bay cartshed with limewashed elevations and a slate roof. It has three large openings at ground floor level, all with timber lintels, and a pair of louvred timber windows to the first floor. The west gable has a stone stair leading to the first floor, with a square-headed doorway with a timber lintel. The rear elevation is set into the garden slope, and at first floor level there is a square window opening with a crude timber mullion. The cartshed’s interior has a hayloft covering two-thirds of the first floor, with the western bay open to the roof.

Attached to the east end of the main house is a further two-storey outbuilding, also with limewashed elevations and a slate roof, now in residential use, featuring later openings and timber casements to the ground and first floors, and a central doorway at the west end.

Originally a two-unit house with direct entry, a masonry partition once separated the parlour and hall. The hall has been subdivided to create a hallway and a drawing room. The hallway contains a new straight flight staircase. To the right of the hallway is a drawing room with a large, open fireplace featuring a voussoired arch. To the left of the hallway is another drawing room containing two exposed beams with medium chamfers and hollow stops with fillet. A four-centred stone arched doorway, enlarged, provides access from the hallway to the rear range. This rear room features three exposed beams with medium chamfers, a later fireplace, and a blocked-up stair. The converted barn to the east has no exposed features.
