House, now farmhouse. Early to mid C17 (ex situ datestone 1640), probably in
2 or more builds; altered in C19. Coursed dressed sandstone blocks, slate
roof. Rectangular plan composed of a 2-unit front range with coupled 2-unit
rear wings of unequal widths and different builds, with a short side wing to
the rear left-hand corner. Two storeys and attics; chamfered plinth; south
front of 2 bays, almost symmetrical, has a central C19 doorway (probably
replacing a formerly wider doorway, as indicated by termination of plinth to
each side), 2 tall 4-pane sashes at ground floor and 2 square 4-pane sashes
above; and gable chimneys, that at the right-hand (east) end external. The
left return wall has a 3-light mullioned stairlight towards the rear of the
front range , a small C19 window vertically above this, a 2-light mullioned
window at ground floor of the wing, a narrow chamfered window at 1st floor
and a smaller similar window under the eaves above this; the projecting side
wing has an inserted doorway on the re-entrant side, and in the gable wall a
narrow cross-window at 1st floor with a hoodmould, and a 3-light attic window
(outer lights blocked) under a straight dripmould. The right-hand gable wall
of the front range has an external chimney stack with 2 offsets, flanked by a
restored cross-window and an inserted doorway at ground floor, 3-light
transomed windows at 1st floor (the left with ovolo-and-fillet mullions, the
other restored), and small chamfered attic windows above (that on the right
blocked); the wing continuing to the rear has a chamfered Tudor-arched
doorway with cambered lintel, altered as a window, a modern 3-light casement
to the right, and three 4-pane sashes above. The rear gable of this (east)
wing has a very large external chimney stack with offsets, a small square
window (blocked) to the right at 1st floor, and little attic windows flanking
the chimney above; interrupted coursing at the junction with the gable of the
other west wing, which has a 3-light transomed window and a 3-light mullioned
window at ground floor, both with hoodmoulds, a similar transomed window at
1st floor and a 3-light mullioned window to the attic (outer lights blocked),
both with straight dripmoulds.
Interior: numerous features of interest, including a very large stone arched
fireplace in the rear gable of the east wing (now mostly concealed), in the
parlour to the front of this side a carved Jacobean overmantel to the
fireplace, and a very fine inlaid panelled door with ornamental strap hinges;
muntin-and-rail panelling in this room (part restored) and in the chamber
above; similar panelling in the chamber at the rear of the west wing, with a
moulded plaster frieze of pomegranates and acanthus leaves; and similar
panelling at the top level of the staircase; C18 bolection-moulded panels and
fireplace in the chamber at the rear of the east wing; an arched brick
fireplace in the attic above this. An ex-situ datestone, now used as a
fireback in the parlour, has raised lettering:-
