II

Farmhouse, now house. Probably C16 or C17, remodelled in mid C18 and perhaps C19 and recently renovated. Large random sandstone rubble with quoins, C19 tooled sandstone dressings, graduated slate roof; with internal cruck frame. Single-depth 3-unit plan on north-south axis facing west. Formerly single storeyed, raised to 2 storeys in C18; 1:2 windows, with a quoined vertical joint between the 1st and 2nd windows (suggesting that the north unit might be an extension, but see Interior below), and a C19 tooled gutter cornice. The 2-window portion has a square-headed doorway offset slightly left of centre, with plain square-cut jambs and lintel and a board door; to the right of the doorway, a large padstone or stylobate embedded in the masonry at ground level; remains of a former 2-light mullioned window in the masonry at ground floor to the right abutting the left side of a square inserted window; a C19 rectangular window to the left at ground floor, and similar but slightly smaller windows above these; all these windows with raised sills, straight lintels and recent 2-light casements. The 1-window portion to the left has a similar casement on each floor, that at ground floor taller than the others and both with plain square-cut surrounds. Gable chimney to left, small ridge chimney at junction, and recent external tubular metal chimney attached to right-hand gable wall. The right-hand gable wall has a chamfered 1-light window at 1st floor. The rear has traces of a former oblong window at ground floor of the centre bay, and a square window in line with the ridge chimney (perhaps a former fire-window). INTERIOR: 2 full cruck trusses define a full-bay housepart which was formerly open to the roof, with a longitudinally partitioned and lofted half-bay service end to the south, and at least one other bay to the north which was rebuilt in the C18 or C19. Each truss has a tie-beam with spurs to the former wallplate, a collar and a yoke; the lower half of the west blade of the north truss has been removed, but the apex carries the stub of a diagonally-set former ridge, and the back of the east blade has a 2-peghole diagonal lap-joint of a former windbrace to the north (i.e. in the direction of the apparent extension); the apex of the blades of the south truss has been sawn off above ceiling level, but the soffit of the tie-beam has remains of a former clamstaff-and-daub partition: intact and exposed on both sides of the east blade, with the left jamb of a former doorway, and empty mortices in the remainder. In the roof space the top of this truss has remains of wattle-and-daub panelling with hair plaster on both sides. The housepart has 2 large axial beams set edgewise and extending the full length of the bay, the west one with deep arched undercutting at its south end, with straight square-section joists tenoned in, none of these timbers decorated; and at the upper end a fine large mid C18 fireplace with corbelled lintel, moulded surround and prominent moulded cornice. Absence of evidence of a smokehood, and smoke-blackening on the exposed portions of the cruck blade and tie-beam to the right of the stack suggest that there was a smoke bay at this end and that the upper floor was inserted. The service bay has a pair of chamfered axial beams with curvy joists tenoned in, the soffit of that on the east with stave mortices of a former partition.
