projects. The 2 left-hand windows are later C19 4 pane sashes, above the ground

the original granite 4-centred chamfered granite doorway with C20 plank door. This
is underneath an open-fronted porch, its roof supported on a stone corbel to the
left and a side wall to the right. To the right is an original hollow chamfered
granite framed light. At left-hand end is single storey C19 wash-house. Later C19
and early C20 L-shaped addition at rear.
Interior: A 4-centred arched chamfered granite doorway leads from the passage into
the left-hand room. In the room are heavy chamfered cross-beams. The wooden winder
stairs survive at the front of the room. The large granite-framed fireplace has had
a C20 fireplace inserted into it but has not been removed.
Despite later additions the interesting original plan of the C17 house survives with
a number of its features preserved.
