Farmhouse. Early C16 with later alterations and additions. Cob, stone plinth,
plastered, under gabled-end and hipped slate roofs. Formerly a 3-room, through-
passage house with a 2-bay barn added (or rebuilt) to the left-hand end in the C17,
and a cross-wing added to the right-hand higher end in the mid C19. The lower end
appears always to have been of 2-storeys; the parlour first floor was inserted well
before that and the hall where the roof is heavily sooted. 2 axial stacks to the
main range, one backing onto the passage and heating the hall, the other, now axial,
but possibly once the lower end stack. End stack to cross wing. All with brick
shafts. 2 storeys throughout, including barn.
Front: 3 window range, 2 and 3 light casement windows to 1st floor (2 of them C19
with glazing bars), two 3-light C19 casement windows to ground floor; doorway (to
former passage, the opposing door is now blocked) under slate-roofed porch with
shaped brackets. Barn extension with entrance and hay loft access over. C19 cross-
wing with 2-light casement windows to 1st floor and one of 3 lights to ground floor,
is entered through doorway in lean-to at the end of the wing. 2- and 3-light C19 and
C20 casement windows to rear of both wing and main range.
Interior: hall with 3 cross beams, chamfered with diagonal stops, fireplace all
chamfered; lower end room with one axial, chamfered, unstopped beam; the lower end
passage screen has been removed, but the mortices are visible on the underside of the
bressumer; the beam inserted above this bressumer suggests that the screen may have
been of medieval date.
Roof: 4 jointed crucks; lower end trusses are clean; lower-end trusses of hall closed
and sooted to hall side only; hall of one bay with wind brace to each side; parlour
lightly smoke-blackened; all crucks are morticed and side pegged at apex with
diagonal ridge piece; cranked collars and trenched purlins.
