History

The building has a later C17 origin, possibly as a single unit dwelling. It was enlarged by one bay to the W in the C18, and further added to at the E in the early C19, now the kitchen, and subsequently. It received further extensions at the rear in 1988.

Exterior

The building is of rubble stone, whitewashed to the front, with a thatched straw roof. Two storeys, rubble end stacks. The entrance is in a lean-to lobby in front of the original bay, with a door entering beside the original spiral stair at the side of the axial stack. Modern timber casement windows. The added E range has a lower slate roof, window architraves and a modern lean-to. The rear is now concealed by recent additions.

Interior

The original bay has a large gable fireplace with a bread oven and deep timber lintel. Massive central chamfered cross beam with fillet and scoop stops, and secondary cross beams at the end carrying the closely spaced square section joists. The winding stair has been removed. A square headed opening in the stone wall opposite the firepalce leads to the early C18 parlour-dairy, now a dining room, where the rought sawn axial ceiling joists are more widely spaced. Roof structure not accessible.
