GV II*
House and cottage now one dwelling. Mid C17. Squared, coursed ironstone. Steeply
pitched thatched roof. Stone-coped gable on right without kneeler. Base for ball
finial. Altered stone end stack with chamfered case and similar ridge stacks one
with renewed blue brick shaft. 3-unit plan and single-unit plan. Single storey
plus attic throughout, 4-window attic range. Common entrance passage shared by
the two dwellings has a 6-panelled door with moulded wood surround and wood
lintel. To left two 4-light and a 7-light stone mullioned window. To right a
4-light stone mullioned window. Hood moulds with label stops. Attic has an
eyebrow dormer with 3-light metal casement in stone surrounds and wood lintel. 2
half-dormers with 2- and 3-light metal casements with stone surrounds and wood
lintels. Attic floor on right has a 3-light stone mullioned window. Wood-Jones
suggests that the relationship of 2 buildings sharing a common entrance passage
to a common yard shows a kinship siting for family groups; seperate dwellings
being erected for members of the same family on the original family plot.
Proffitt's House has 2 seperate fireplaces backing on to the common entrance
passage. Interior not inspected.
