House. Dated 1667 with later alterations. Coursed squared gritstone rubble, pantile roof with one eaves course of stone slates. 2 storeys, lobby-entry plan, 5 bays with rear outshut. Plinth and quoins. A fine plank door with iron studs and strap hinges, bay 3 in a moulded surround with quoined jambs and shallow triangular-arched lintel inscribed with the date. 2 small rectangular chamfered windows above. C20 small-paned windows thoughout, of 2 and 3 lights in the style of side-sliding sashes. The ground-floor bay-1 window is in a blocked doorway with large lintel; the blocking of a wider mullioned window to bay 4 is clearly visible. C20 garage doors to bay 5. A continuous string course across the length of the building has been cut back but it can be seen stepping up over the present entrance and over the blocked doorway. Bulbous kneelers, gable copings; C20 brick stack straddles the ridge opposite the entrance, small end stack left; an C18 brick stack to rear of the ridge, bay 2. Left return: brick flue from adjoining scullery, now kitchen, is visible above the roof line of the added range which is not included in the listing. Right return: the rear outshut of one build with the house; inserted ground-floor windows, 3-light recessed chamfered mullion window to first floor right, with a blocked rectangular window below. Interior: entrance is onto the side of a large stack with back to back fireplaces. The room to right has a chamfered mantel beam and a large ceiling beam with pyramid stops. The left room has a mantel beam and brick lined oven; the rear wall of this room has oak panelling with moulded framing. 3 principal posts with curved braces divide the main rooms from the rear aisle; closely spaced studs are exposed on the first floor. The rear staircase is original, rising round a chamfered newel post and entered from the main (right) room through a plank door. The upper rooms are ceiled over at purlin level; tie beams and wall plates are visible. A good example of a stone-built house which retains the timber framing of roof trusses, rear aisle and partitions,and original door and stairs.
