House. Early C18, with C19 alterations and C20 restoration. Coursed
gritstone rubble, pantile roof with stone slate eaves course. 2 storeys,
3 bays. Quoins. Lobby-entry plan. 6-panel door, the top 2 panels glazed,
between bays 2 and 3, beneath the remains of a keyed lintel. 24-pane
3-light, side-sliding sashes to bays 1 and 2 ground floor, similar 16-pane
2-light sash to right; first floor: similar windows of 18 panes and
12 panes. All first-floor windows have keyed lintels and the remains of
quoined jambs. Rendered end stack to left and ridge stack opposite the
entrance. Interior: large brick inglenook fireplace opposite the entrance;
ceiling beams and cellar beneath south room. The house was built with a C17
plan of 3 rooms and a lobby entry; the right-hand room was an unheated store
or sleeping room, the left room had a fireplace built in the C19 when the
roof was raised. It is probable that the ground-floor window lintels were
used for the heightened first-floor windows at that time. B Hutton, "The
Houses of Scriven Green", 1979.
