early C19. Stone rubble walls, stucco at the front. Slate roof, gable ended to
front block, half hipped to rear wing. 2 gable end stacks to front block; right-hand
one is brick, left-hand one is projecting rubble. Rendered rubble lateral stack at
left-hand side of rear wing, similar lateral stack at rear of main block.
Originally probably 2-room-and-through-passage plan C17 house with left-hand room
heated by gable end stack and right-hand room heated by rear lateral stack, possibly
with newel stairs adjoining. Probably kitchen and service wing added behind left-
hand room in C18. In the early C19 the house was completely re-fronted, the left-
hand room re-modelled and staircase inserted at the back of the passage. Probably at
this stage or slightly later a lower 1 room plan extension was added at the right-
hand end.

extension at right-hand end has one pointed arched window with Gothic Y-tracery.
Irregular rear facade has large wing projecting to the right with lateral stack at
the centre and shallow rectangular projection beside it possibly for stairs.
Interior. The right-hand room of the original block has chamfered and stopped
granite jambs to-the fireplace with a renewed rough granite lintel. The left-hand
room has early C19 simply recessed panelling with chair rail. At the rear of the
