The rest coursed rubble with quoins. Stone slate roofs with very tall
brick stack over house body. Chamfered gable copings on moulded kneelers

by a later outshut to the house body. The garden front is mainly altered
but has one 3-light double chamfered window to 1st floor. Fire window to
right part of house body. The elevation to the farmyard has later outshut
and recent porch to house body. The west wing has exposed framing consisting

Diagonal studding to gable and 1st floor. 1st floor window with studding

Interior: The wall of the house within the outshut has good, enriched
doorway with imposts and inscribed lintel 'PETER HAWKSWORTH 1651'. The
house body has 2 spine beams supported on a deep bressumer in front of
the fireplace which with the heck post, is stop chamfered at front and
stop splayed at back. Backing on to this, on both floors are C17 fireplaces,
within the east wing. Evidence of timber posting and bressumers in the west
wing suggests the wing is 4 bays long. King-post trusses in east wing with
