House. Probably late medieval with mid/late C17 remodelling
and C19 rear extension. Limestone rubble with freestone quoins
and plinth, stone slate roof with brick stacks to right gable
end and rear slope of left gable end. L-shaped plan with
2-unit central entry front block.
EXTERIOR: one storey with attic to the front, 2 storeys to the
rear; 2-window range. Timber lintels to C20 windows, except
those to the attic which have ovolo architraves and were
formerly 2-light mullioned windows, now C19 horizontal sliding
sashes. Of the 2 gabled full dormers to the attic, that to the
left is of a steeper pitch; a wrought-iron bracketed gutter
spans the facade at sill level.
A freestone rusticated door case with edge-roll moulding has a
C20 planked door and gabled hood flanked by C20 small-paned
windows. To the far right is a rusticated freestone
segmental-arched architrave to a planked door, entrance to
No.55 (qv)
The rendered left gable end has been rebuilt. The roof of the
rear right wing is of a shallower pitch with freestone quoins
(probably later); bracketed gutter; casement windows of
various dates, (C19 and C20).
INTERIOR: a cruck to the right gable end and part of a cruck
and collar truss to the left end remain.
