Farmhouse. C15 core with C17 and C19 additions and alterations. Random rubble
volcanic trap, rendered to front only, under gabled-end slate roofs once thatched.
Originally a 3-room, through-passage plan house, with medieval smoke-blackened roof;
2 rear end wings, that to the right a C17 parlour wing, that to the left a C19 wing
and apple loft with cellar. Stone axial stack with moulded cap backs on to Hall
side of passage (ie. to the right); large stone external lateral stack with moulded
cap heats parlour wing; a C19 internal front lateral stack with brick shaft heats
former lower end. 2 storeys throughout.
Front: 3-window range, late C19 2-light casement windows above, 6 panes per light;
two 2-light windows of different size at ground floor to right of entrance marking
hall and former inner room. 2 light windows to rear elevation, late C19 or C20,
including a slated dormer; two 3-light openings to apple loft/cellar, the apple loft
being reached by external steps.
Interior: Hall with 3 cross beams, deeply chamfered with run-out stops. Left-hand
room with C19 internal panelled shutters. The floor above the Hall is raised 45 cms
above level of the floors of adjacent rooms. C17 doorframe gives first floor access
into parlour wing.
Roof: evidence of smoke-blackening throughout main range. 3 jointed crucks, one
over lower end, the others above Hall. Lower end cruck smoke-blackened to both
sides, originally closed. Of the 2 Hall principals, one retains its
chamfered arched-brace, whilst that to the parlour end (also originally
closed, and less heavily sooted to parlour side) has lost it. All
morticed and side-pegged at apex. Purlins trenched. Diagonal ridge-piece
and purlins sooted to extreme right-hand end. The rear courtyard
enclosed by a rubble stone wall with slate roof with stones under. The
