House, 'WIS IS 1694' over door lintel. Pebbledashed rubble with stone
slate roof. Comprises a main range running from south-east to north-west.
At the latter end is a cross-wing projecting towards the north-east.
Parallel with the cross-wing, on the north-east side of the main range, is
a porch wing containing the main entrance. 2 storeys with attic. The
windows have an inner hollow chafer and an outer chamfer. On the north-
east side the cross-wing has a 6-light mullioned and transomed window on
each floor. To the left is a door with plain stone surround. To the left,
between the wings, is one bay with an enlarged 2-light mullioned window on
the ground floor and a modern 2-light window above. To the left of the
porch are a 3-light and a 2-light mullioned window on the ground floor,
with a similar 3-light window above. The porch wing has a 3-light 1st
floor window and one of 2 lights to the attic. Its left-hand return wall
has a 2-light window to ground and 1st floors. The right-hand return wall
has a one-light window similar to the one at the right-hand end of the
south-west wall. The doorway has a moulded surround with a hood rising
over both the shaped lintel and the date plaque over. Both gables have
copings with kneelers. The main chimney is in line with the porch, with
other chimneys on the porch gable and on right-hand return wall of the
cross-wing. The left-hand gable of the main range has a 2-light window on
the ground floor and 3-light windows to the lint floor and attics. The south-
west wall of the cross-wing has a former 2-light window on the ground floor
and a cross window above. To the right of the wing is a former 4-light
window, with a 3-light window above. To the right 3 staggered one-light
chamfered windows indicate the position of the former stair. Further right
are a former 4-light window now with 2 mullions, and a one-light window
with segmental head and outer chamfer continuing upwards to form a shape
on the lintel. On the first floor is a 3-light window. The interior has
been modernised, with sole ceiling beams remaining on the ground floor
and an inner chamfered stone doorway with shaped lintel.
