Description

The property is a farmhouse, originally dating from the 18th century, constructed of rubble stone with a low-pitched slate roof and small stone end stacks. It has two storeys and an attic. The front of the original three-window range is partially hidden by an added wing that projects forward and is one storey and attic high. The majority of windows have been replaced with plastic frames. A large, central, gabled porch projects from the front, also partially obscured by the wing. The front door is a studded plank door within a chamfered stone surround with four chamfered narrow ashlar lights above a slab lintel. A first-floor pair of small-paned casement windows is also present. A blocked single light is set into the gable. To the left, a ground-floor pair of small casement windows is contained within a late 19th-century red-brick surround, situated beneath a large three-light plastic window (which formerly held a 19th-century small-paned window with top lights) and protected by a stone relieving arch. A west-end wall contains a ground-floor door and a first-floor, eroded, two-light stone mullioned window, again with a relieving arch, as well as an attic casement pair with a timber lintel and relieving arch.

The added wing to the right is roughcast, with a lower eaves line to the rear. The south end of this wing features a 20th-century three-light window with top lights, and the east front is constructed of red brick with two 20th-century windows and a brick wallface stack.

The east end of the main range has been rebuilt in the late 20th century to replicate the original form, incorporating new Forest of Dean stone windows: a four-light window on the ground floor, a three-light window above with a relieving arch, and a casement pair in the attic.

The rear elevation has also been rebuilt to the extreme left, featuring a two-light stone mullion window on the ground floor and a blind segmental pointed window above, which appear to be copies of the originals. A large external lateral stack adjoins this section, with two offsets on the left, a square base, and a diagonally-set shaft. The rear wall steps forward under a catslide roof; the left section is a stair tower with a stepped, roughcast north face, a small upper window, a stair light at mid-height on the right, and a ground-floor door with an overlight. There is canted stonework in the angle to a slightly set-back section to the right. This section incorporates one original, very eroded, two-light mullion window at first floor, with a segmental pointed relieving arch, and buttressing in the angle to the main wall on the right.

A single-storey outbuilding with a slate roof, a brick north stack, and rendered west side, featuring a casement pair window, is also present. A small single light is located at the first floor on the left.

During a survey, this property was not accessible. It is reported to contain four-centred arches (one with ovolo mouldings and one with decorative carving) and a spiral stair.
