porch has a doorway with Tudor-arched lintel protected by a
hoodmould (and C20 glazed door), a rectangular 16-pane fixed
window at 1st floor filling the opening of a former 2-light

stone-slate hoodmould. Above this a small datestone panel, a
2-light double-chamfered mullioned window at attic level with
small-paned glazing and a hoodmould, gable coping with
kneelers, and a small 1-light window at 1st floor of the left
side. Flanking the porch the main range has replacement sashed
windows on each floor, with margin panes. On each floor
immediately to the right of the porch are remains of 2-light
mullioned windows and further to the right the ground floor
has a 2-light mullioned window and the 1st floor has a
chamfered 1-light window. Gable copings with kneelers, large
gable chimneys, that to the left of one stage and that to the
right 2 stages and on corbels, both with stone-slate bands and
cylindrical shafts. Left (west) gable wall has painted render,
and attic windows of 1 and 2 lights. Right-hand return has
(inter alia) an added stone porch, attic windows flanking the
chimney (now with plastic glazing), and the rear wing has a
2-light window at ground floor, a 1-light window above this
and a corbelled chimney with cylindrical shaft.
INTERIOR: former housepart (right) and parlour (left), now in
one (the former partition removed), contain 4 chamfered
lateral beams; housepart has muntin-and-plank rear partition
wall, a very large rectangular stone fireplace with corbelled
lintel, and a built-in cupboard to the right of this; former
kitchen to rear of housepart; closed-string splat-baluster
staircase; upper-cruck roof trusses to both ranges (3 in main
range, 2 in rear wing), all with sharply elbowed blades. (C20
