C17. Timber-framed, Coursed rubble with large quoins, but mainly rendered. Stone
slate roof. Two storeys, although the second storey is only visible in the gable end
since it is a two-aisled long house, Five bays, 3 to the barn, 2 to the house, divided
by a masonry wall which the hearth backs on to. King post trusses braced to ridge, on
posts which are braced to both ties and to aisle plates: all intact.
Principal elevation is in west gable end. Ground floor has two three-light stone
mullioned windows with unmoulded flat drip stones (both with mullions removed). First
floor has two two-light stone mullioned with hollow chamfers and one single
light window. South elevation has one three-light hollow chaniferred stone mullioned
window, and one much larger two-light hollow chamferred stone mullioned window (mullion
removed): from its size and the fact that the room it lights is heated this may have
been the hall window. Barn entrances it recessed porches on cross axis. Group value.
