The Pant

The Pant is a house constructed of rubble stone, featuring a 20th-century plain tile roof and two rebuilt stone chimneys, one located on the ridge and the other at the left end. The building has one storey and a loft, with small paned windows added in the 20th century. The north front has three windows and a lofted former outbuilding at a right angle to the left. There is a 20th-century stone porch and two additional 20th-century windows with small panes and timber lintels in the centre and to the right. The right gable end includes a large 20th-century loft window. The outbuilding has a small window to the right, followed by stone outside steps leading to a gabled loft door that breaks the eaves, and garage doors to the left, which may have been added or rebuilt.

A photograph by Fox & Raglan of the garden front shows that a third chimney at the west end has been removed. At that time, there were two gabled dormers on the garden front and four ground floor openings, with the roof originally being stone-tiled. Their plan indicates that the south front was rebuilt, while the north front had two blocked timber-mullion windows to the right and a six-light diamond mullion window to the left of the door.

The interior was not available for inspection during the resurvey in December 1999. Fox & Raglan noted a hall of probably two bays measuring 23 feet 8 inches by 21 feet, containing two cruck trusses, one of which is open while the other has been lost to a fireplace. The plan shows a central fireplace flanked by winding stairs and an end entry, which backs onto an added cross-passage. The doorway into the passage features a heavy oak rectangular chamfered frame. The windows on the north front are blocked but retain their original frames. The cross-passage has a late 16th-century stud-and-panel partition that has been altered and reset. The 16th-century added room includes a six-light north window with one remaining diamond mullion, a fireplace with chamfered ashlar jambs and an oak lintel. Missing stairs to the left were removed when a cellar was created. Beams with stepped hollow stops to chamfers were also noted.
