Description

This is a broad, six-bay farmhouse, dating from the 16th century with later alterations and an 18th-century wing. The front elevation is roughcast, topped by a slate roof, which was previously thatched. Three rubble chimneystacks are present: two at the gable ends and one axial. The first floor has four hornless 16-pane sash windows with Gibbsian surrounds; another sash window was likely blocked in the 19th century. Below, similar windows are found alongside an offset four-panelled door with a fanlight. Evidence suggests that some original window dressings have been removed. A rendered cill band and matching quoining mark the ends of the building. The rear elevation features a gabled dormer to an earlier stair outshut at the west end, with a dressed stone hollow-chamfered mullion window. An 18th-century wing extends to the east end, with a gable chimney. Modern single-storey extensions have been added to the rear.

A later offset entry leads into a central hall on the east side, accessed via a later corridor. The central hall contains a large open fireplace with a deep stone lintel, dressed stone chamfered jambs, and herringbone stone to the back of the fire. Four exposed ceiling beams have broad chamfers. A doorway on the south wall leads to a rear corridor with a flagstone floor, and a modern staircase is housed within the two-storey wing to the rear. To the west of the hall is a cross passage, with a four-centred rendered archway at the south end. Leading off the cross passage to the east is a parlour, featuring an 18th-century bolection moulded timber fireplace with a large fielded panel above, and sash windows with simple shutters. A south-facing entrance leads into a later 18th-century kitchen wing, which includes replaced joists and a large open fireplace on the south wall, with a bread oven set into the right-hand jamb. The ground floor showcases good 18th-century joinery, including several two-panelled doors, a large larder in the rear corridor, an 18th-century back door with bars and an internal shutter. A first-floor room above the west parlour has simple thumb moulding running around the room and an exposed crude mullion two-light window on the south wall, which was subsequently obscured by the 18th-century extension. The original 16th-century roof is an A-frame structure with pegged morticed collars. A first-floor room above the west parlour also has thumb moulding and a two-light mullioned window on the south wall, also covered by the 18th-century extension.
