Farmhouse. Probably late C17, with some alterations of C19 and C20. Painted stone
rubble. Slurried slate roof with gable ends and gable end stacks with slate
weathering and shaped tops.
Plan: 2-room plan with central entrance to a cross passage, which has a C19 stair
inserted. Parlour to left and larger hall/kitchen to right, each heated by a gable
end stack. Probably in the C19, an unheated outshut for scullery and dairy was added
along the whole of the rear, with access from the rear of the room to right.
Exterior: 2 storeys and 3 windows; almost symmetrical front. First floor has three
2-light casements of 3 panes each; ground floor has 3-light casement to right and
left with dripstones, central open-fronted stone porch with pitched roof and C20
door. Attached to left is a single storey outhouse with pitched roof, door and
corrugated iron cladding to front. Right gable end blind rubble wall. To right at
the rear there is a small single storey rubble addition with small C20 window; single
storey rubble shed attached to right with door in the gable end. At the rear, the
outshut forms a catslide roof with the main range, with two 2-light casements at
ground floor, 1 of 2 panes and 1 of 6 panes.
Interior: Ground floor rooms have irregular chamfered beams. Room to right has
fireplace to gable end, formerly with oven to rear. Room to left has heavy granite
lintel to fireplace, closed in C20. The roof was probably reconstructed in early
C19, with principal rafters crossed at the apex and pegged, with purlins pegged to
the back of the principals and collars pegged to the faces.
