II
House with forge to S end, now house. C18, C20. Red brick,
peg-tiled mansard roof, C18 stack at each gable end.
Rectangular plan.
EXTERIOR: one and a half storeys. 2 window range with central
door, 2 dormers with sloping roofs above lower windows, small
dormer window central over door. All windows of the house are
C20 casements with diamond lattice panes, ground floor 2-light
with upper light, principal dormers 2-lights. Door C20 boarded
with central light and ironwork. Forge, red brick, peg-tiled
pitched roof, three C20 3-light casement windows with segment
heads, diamond lattice panes. N end simple projecting lean-to,
brick rendered and colour washed with slate roof, 2-light
casement window as rest. Rear, E elevation. Forge projects
slightly and both units have pilaster buttresses. House unit
has two 2-light and top light casements and one single-light
casement. Forge, two 2-light casements with top light and
central French window with diamond panes. N end lean-to C20
boarded door with central diamond paned light and a single
casement window. S end elevation C20 French window with side
lights, diamond paned. N end elevation. Lean-to with two
2-light casement windows, single casement window above in
rendered and colour washed end wall.
INTERIOR: refurbished in C20. Forge all renewed in 1947. House
interior also considerably renewed. 2 old principal joists
exist, a binding joist with lambs' tongue chamfer stops and a
bridging joist, more massive and apparently earlier. This has
common joists attached and carpenters' assembly marks exist on
both that match except that the common joists are not in
perfect order. These assembly marks are earlier in style than
the date of the house and the joists may have been derived
from elsewhere. The S end of the forge appears to have been
slightly lengthened in the C20 refurbishment and a diagonal
mark on the roof suggests that it was originally hipped.
