The Pant

House, rubble stone with C20 plain tile roof and 2 rebuilt stone chimneys, one on ridge, one at left end. One storey and loft, C20 small paned windows. Three-window N front with lofted former outbuilding at right angles to left, then C20 stone porch and 2 C20 windows with small panes and timber lintels to centre and right. Right gable end has large C20 loft window. Outbuilding has small window to right, then stone outside steps to gabled loft door breaking eaves, garage doors to left, this part possibly added or rebuilt. Fox & Raglan photograph of garden front shows that third chimney at W end has gone. There were then 2 gabled dormers on the garden front and 4 ground floor openings, the roof was stone-tiled. Their plan suggests that the S front was rebuilt and the N front had 2 blocked timber-mullion windows to the right, and a 6-light diamond mullion window to left of the door.

Interior not available for inspection at the time of resurvey (December 1999). Fox & Raglan noted a hall of probably 2 bays 23'8" by 21' containing 2 cruck trusses, one open, and one lost to fireplace. The plan given in Vol 2 p 29 shows centre fireplace flanked by winding stairs and end entry, backing onto added cross-passage, the doorway into passage with heavy oak rectangular chamfered frame. Windows blocked on N front with original frames. Cross-passage had late C16 stud-and panel partition altered and reset.The C16 added room had a 6-light N window with one remaining diamond mullion, a fireplace with chamfered ashlar jambs and oak lintel. Missing stairs to left, removed when cellar was made. Beams with stepped hollow stops to chamfers also noted.
