GV II*

Farmhouse. C17 in 2 builds (dated 1625 and 1665 on plaque at
1st floor); altered in C19 and part now used as a cart shed.
Slobbered random rubble, stone slate roofs. Irregular T-plan
formed by a single-depth main range of 2 wide units, on an
east-west axis facing south, with one narrow bay added to the
east at an early date, a large rear wing with a lean-to
addition in the west angle and a larger lean-to addition to
the north gable.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, 4:1 windows. The 4-window symmetrical
front of the main range was severely remodelled in the C19,
and now has a doorway in the centre protected by a C20 glazed
porch, 4 rectangular 2-light casements on each floor (each
leaf with a horizontal glazing bar), and a re-located plaque
to the left of the 4th window lettered "...ificat Per T/W M
1625 Reaedificicat Per T/R D 1665" (RT=Richard Trotter). At
the left gable is a very large external chimney stack which
has 3 slated offsets, a slate cornice and a stout cylindrical
shaft; and at the junction to the right is another square
chimney with a similar shaft. The added bay at the east end
has a 5-light double-chamfered stone mullion window on each
floor, each with a hoodmould; and a gable chimney. At the rear
the exposed north half of the west side of the wing now has a
wagon doorway at ground floor, a small blocked square window
to the left and a blocked 4-light mullioned window at 1st
floor with a hoodmould; and a damaged stone slate roof with
the base of a corbelled chimney at the gable. The rear of the
main range and extension to the east each have a mullioned
window.
INTERIOR: main range altered at ground floor (otherwise not
inspected); rear wing has remains of a very wide
segmental-arched stone fireplace with chamfered surround, but
now lacks its upper floor.
HISTORICAL NOTE: owned by Richard Trotter, who led the Dent
"statesmen" to purchase the manor of Dent from the crown in
1670.
