II

House, in use as store. C17 with some minor circa mid C19 alterations when the house was divided into two cottages. Rendered cob on stone rubble footings, corrugated iron roofs gabled at ends formerly thatched. Massive stone stack on ridge heating hall, right gable end stack heating lower end no longer exists. Three rooms and through or cross passage plan, the hall heated by a stack backing on to the passage, the inner room very narrow and unheated and the lower end heated at the right gable end. When the house was divided the entrance was altered to a baffle entry with the passage forming a narrow room at the lower end. The roof trusses were replaced circa late C19/early C20. Two storeys. Asymmetrical four-window front, front door leading into a lobby in front of the stack has a sloping slate roof. Separate entrance into lower end to the right probably constructed when the house was divided. C19 fenestration to the front elevation with two- and three-light casements with glazing bars. Two timber C17 mullioned windows to the rear, one lighting the inner room has a king mullion and one diamond section mullion surviving. A two-light timber mullioned window lights the rear wall of the passage.

Interior The hall fireplace has squared stone rubble jambs and a chamfered lintel with straight cut stops, one chamfered axial beam to hall. A plastered partition wall between the hall and inner room is probably post C17. The lower end fireplace has a chamfered timber lintel. The stubs of the truncated C17 principal rafters exist below the circa late C19/early C20 trusses.
