II

Farmhouse and attached farm building. Mid C17 or earlier, with C19 alterations and additions, and further C20 minor alterations. Random rubble, rising from a rubble plinth, and whitewashed on the principal elevations, with irregular quoining to corners, and dressed stone surrounds to openings. Stone slated roof covering to house, with brick stacks to ends. Outbuilding part with Welsh slates above stone slated eaves courses. Linear form of modified long-house plan type, with house and outbuilding separated by a through passage, and the original entry to the house being located within the passage. HOUSE PART: of 2 bays and 2 storeys, with added outshot to left (west) bay which incorporates the later doorway. This has a flush stone surround which extends to eaves height. Small high level window to right. Rear (south) elevation with 3, 2-light windows to each floor, with flush stone surrounds, and formerly mullioned. Small fire window with chamfered stone surround to east end serves hearth recess within. INTERIOR: internal partition between rooms to ground floor removed, but spine beams and joists remain exposed. Hearth to east end set beneath firebeam, with C18 surround, now mutilated by C19 inserts. Hearth to west bay with C19 cast iron surround. OUTBUILDING: single storey with overloft, and with 2 doorways to the front elevation. The doorway to the right serves the through passage, and both it and the corresponding door to the rear elevation have chamfered surrounds and deep lintols. The remaining door is the byre entry, with a planked door and a chamfered stone surround. There are overloft doors on both front and rear walls. The timber lean-to building against the east gable is not of special interest. The through passage contains the original entry to the house part, with a chamfered stone surround, now blocked. The building is a now rare example of modified long-house plan type, a development of the early long house form where humans and animals shared a common entrance. The survival of the through passage, with the principal hearth backing onto it, and with the original house entrance enclosed by it is particularly significant.
