House. Circa 1600, C17 alteration to hall, probably mid C18/C19 lower end removed, some windows replaced, small C20 addition. Sandstone rubble with slurried slate roof hipped to right, with ridge stack between hall and inner room, front lateral hall stack. Plan: This is the through passage, hall and inner room of a 3-room house. The hall bay was extended to the front and there is a stair tower to the rear of the inner room. The hall is heated by a front lateral stack and the inner room by a ridge stack rather than a gable end stack. The house is entered through a C20 porch on the right side, directly into the inner room; this porch is set in the angle between the inner room and a single storey C19 kitchen wing on the right side to the rear. A straight stair was inserted in the left side of the passage in the C19, possibly indicating dual occupation before the lower end was demolished. The stair tower may be an addition after the first phase of building, contemporary with the extended hall bay. 2 storeys, to left a 6-pane light at ground floor replacing the front passage entry, with single light under eaves above. The hall stack slightly brought forward to right and the hall bay has a 12-pane horizontal sliding sash at ground floor with concrete lintel, 2-light 8-pane casement under eaves.

The stair tower has pitched roof extended from main roof, with door to left to shed built around base of stair tower. C19 addition to left has C20 window to rear and to gable end.
