Description
This is a two-unit, two-storey house dating from the 18th century. It originally comprised a hall and kitchen, with a front porch and a rear staircase outshut. The entrances are now located on the north and east sides, although the porch originally faced south into the hillside. To the west of the kitchen is a long byre, with a later stable attached. Additional lean-tos have been added to the north side, flanking the staircase outshut.
The house is rendered over stone, with slate roofs, rendered end stacks, and a large rendered ridge stack behind the porch. Mid-20th century windows have been inserted into openings that originally had flat heads with dripmoulds. The south front has one window to the left of the porch and two windows to the right. The blocked doorway of the porch has a flat head and dripstone, and the upper storey has no windows.
The adjoining cowhouse has a large-pane window on the right and further opening on the left. A new entrance was created into the east gable end of the house in the mid-20th century, featuring a flat-roofed concrete porch offset to the right, with a window to its left.
The north side, now the front of the house, has a continuous outshut extending centrally and to the left, with a stone-tiled roof. The central section projects and has a narrow, flat-headed doorway on its west side, originally a pig sty dating from around 1800, added to the face of the staircase outshut. The left section contains a later dairy, with a single window opening. To the right of the outshut, a kitchen lean-to was probably added in the mid-20th century, featuring a shallow corrugated roof, a planked central door flanked by large-pane windows, and a further window on the west side.
The cowhouse has a central doorway flanked by windows, the one on the left having a hoodmould. A higher stable block with a corrugated iron roof has been added to the right, featuring doorways to the centre and left with planked doors, along with a loft doorway in the gable end.
During a recent inspection, access to the interior of the house was not possible. The hall is said to retain a ceiling with joist-beam construction, featuring ogee stops, and ovolo-moulded timber doorways. The doorway leading to the stair outshut is reportedly ornamented.
The cowhouse retains three substantial tie-beam trusses with curved-foot principal rafters. It originally contained a row of partitioned stalls aligned north-south, used for tethering cows. The attached stable to the right includes two loose boxes with a loft above.
