Rear: C17 recessed chamfered mullions of 3 and 5 lights to ground floor and 3 and 4 lights above; there is a large rectangular stair window centre with C20 glazing and below it a blocked round arched single-light window. Left return: a C20 glazed door in chamfered quoined surround with cambered head, left. Right return: remains of plinth; 2 low windows with reused or altered C17 surrounds. Interior: the front door opens into a narrow passage, the left wall an inserted partition, with door into left and right rooms; a thick cross wall divides the front room from the rear entrance lobby left, central 1876 staircase, and pantry/buttery right. Ground floor left - the main living room has a large fireplace with chamfered voussoirs of an archway to left, now with a 4-panel door into a small storeroom with stone shelves. The fireplace has an inner arch with finely worked cyma mouldings to the voussoirs and jambs. The front parlour, right, has an inserted partition wall with built-in cupboard, the partition creating a narrow 'toolroom' to the rear, between the parlour and rear dairy, which has a stone salting slab inscribed " IT 1694". The house was the property of the Tennant family in the C17; George Fox preached there in 1652. The Inventory of James Tennant, the builder of the earliest remains surviving, is dated 1719 and refers to the main chambers on 2 floors and garrets, probably in the roof.
