Farmhouse. Late C17, extensive C18 or early C19
reconstruction; remains of a sundial in the garden carry the
date 1662. Whitewashed rubble, slate roofs, stone stacks.
The main range has a symmetrical 2-room plan with central
stair, and a large rear wing, but also a lesser wing forming a
return to the front block; attached to the left-hand end is a
further large 2-room unit, possibly a former bakehouse or
dairy.
The left range is in 2 storeys, with slurried roof, and two
2-light casements with horizontal bars to brick segmental
heads at the ground-floor level; a small 2-light in the gable
end. Central ridge stack. The main house is in 2 storeys with
3 windows, all casements with thin mullions; first floor has
3:2:3-light with small panes, and ground floor 3-light with
horizontal bars. Between the outer windows each side is a
slate-hung apron. A central gabled porch has a basket-handle
outer arch over a fine inner early plank door in a broad
frame. 4 pigeon-holes to the eaves, right. A stack to each
gable, that to the left formerly external, and the roof is
slightly higher than that of the adjoining unit. The return
wing is stepped down to the level of the farmyard, and the
rear gables have further casements. To the right is a wide
plank door.
INTERIOR: no beams remain, but there are some heavy roof
timbers. Floors are of stone flag. A large bressumer fire in
the left-hand room, a C20 fireplace to the right. The
extension also has a large open bressumer fireplace or baking
oven. There are several early plank doors, some with H-hinges.
The central staircase divides at a quarter landing.
