Old Forge House

Old Forge House is a 17th-century building constructed from limewashed rubble stone with stone tiles arranged in diminishing courses. It is a single storey plus attic structure. The south front features the house on the left and an attached forge with a lower roof line on the right. The ground floor of the house includes two restored 4-light diamond mullion windows with dripstones, while the forge has a 20th-century porch and a 20th-century 2-light casement window on the right. The west gable has a 20th-century 3-light mullion window in the upper gable, along with a 20th-century boarded door and a 2+2 casement window on the ground floor. The east elevation features a restored 3-light diamond mullion window on the left, followed by a restored 17th-century 2-light diamond mullion window, and a 20th-century 4-light window with a dripstone on the right.

Originally, there was a gable entry to the hall-house, which is now accessed through the 20th-century porch. The entrance doorway has a Tudor-arched head and a plank and batten door with applied cover fillets and strap hinges. The building has a two-unit plan with a hall and partitioned service rooms at the lower end. The hall features chamfered ceiling beams with hollow and fillet (Wern-hir) stops, and joists with roll moulding at the angles. A fine post and panel partition has chamfered posts with double bead moulding. Doorways at each end have plank and batten doors with applied fillets. The service rooms are separated by a similar partition, and the 20th-century joists match those in the hall. A fireplace stair from the hall provides access to the upper floor. Two open cruck trusses from the former three-bayed hall remain, and the smoke-blackened roof timbers of the former open hall are visible. An additional framed truss has been inserted, with a collar added to each pair of crucks. The forge contains remains of the former bellows and flue.
