II*
Farmhouse and adjoining cottage. 1630 on date stone. Coursed rubble plinth, English garden wall bond brick, stone dressings and a graduated stone slate roof. T-shaped baffle-entry plan with two storeys (plus attic). Two bays, the first projecting as the head of the T. Stone plinth and stone quoins.

House-part has six-light double-chamfered mullion and transom window with hoodmould. The door, which is to the right, has a moulded surround with Tudor-arched lintel and elaborate carved panel above with date, Davenport shield and the initials "WDED" (William and Elizabeth Davenport). Bay one has a four-light chamfered mullion and transom window at first floor with leaded lights and hoodmould. Bay two has a small two-light mullion window and a four-light mullion and transom window as above. The gable to bay one is coped with kneelers and has a two-light chamfered mullion attic light surmounted by an arched light above the hoodmould. A similar window appears in the dormer to bay two which has a coped gable with kneelers. Diagonally set ridge chimney shafts at right and left. Timber lean-to addition against left wall and a four-light chamfered mullion and transom window at first floor level and six-light double-chamfered mullion and transom with king mullion at ground. Two five and one six-light mullion and transom windows to rear as well as two two-light mullion windows and a two-light attic window as above.

Interior: ovolo-moulded beams which are carved on three sides and have stepped stops. Oak panelled parlour. C19 partitions detract only from the spatial qualities of the house-part. A remarkably well preserved early example of both brick construction and multi-floored planning.
