Farmhouse. Dated 1654 on re-set datestone. Rendered sandstone rubble
with ashlar dressings. Two storeys with attic. Entrance front: two
bays near-symmetrically disposed. To the ground floor at right of
centre is a plank door with bolt-head decoration, to right of which is
a five-light casement window with chamfered ashlar mullions which may
be of C18 or C19 date and have been painted. To left is a 3-light
window with similar mullions. Between the floors is a painted string
course which rises over the doorway and there is a similar string
course between the first floor and attic which also rises at the
centre. Both string courses continue around the whole building. To
the first floor at right and left are 3-light windows with chamfered
mullions and to the centre is a rectangular datestone which bears the
Moreton crest to its centre, the initial 'B' at upper right and the
date 16 54 to the lower corners. To the right hand side at ground
floor level is a C20 lean-to porch and behind it a C19 wing at ground
floor level. The right hand gable-end has a 3-light window at first
floor level and a 2-light C20 window to the attic. The left hand
gable-end has, at ground floor level, a window of 2 and 3 lights
divided by a king mullion. To the gable is a 2-light C20 window. To
the rear is a central projecting gabled wing which may originally have
formed a porch wing. This has at ground floor level a 3-light
casement window with chamfered mullions and a similar window at first
floor level with a single-light window to the attic. To the sides at
ground floor level are blocked openings which may originally have been
doorways. To the right of this are a pair of French windows to the
ground floor, with a 3-light mullioned window at first floor level and
a single light window to the attic at left. To the left is a ground
floor window of 3 lights with chamfered mullions.
Interior: Chamfered ceiling beams to the ground floor and an ingle
nook fireplace, now blocked and containing a C20 fire surround.
