Farmhouse. Early - mid C17; altered circa mid C19, with C20 alterations. Granite
rubble with granite quoins. Slurried scantle slate hipped roof with ridge tiles;
partly asbestos slate. Gable end to right with gable end stack with granite rubble
shaft. Stack with brick shaft at the left side.
Plan: What remains of the lower end room of a formerly larger house; the room is
heated from a gable end stack at the right end, and the passage is at the left side.
Probably in circa mid C17 a 2-storey porch was added to the front of the passage. In
circa mid C19, the upper left-hand end was replaced by a 2-room plan cross-wing, with
a larger room at the front, heated from a stack at the left side, and a small
unheated dairy at the rear. A straight stair was inserted in the passage. At the
rear of the passage the wall is slightly curved, which may represent the site of an
earlier stair. Probably also in the C19 a small lean-to pantry was added at the left
side of the porch, and a lean-to was added at the right end.
Exterior: 2 storeys, asymmetrical front with 2-storey porch and one bay to each side.
The porch has a hipped roof; the doorway is in granite, with 2-centred arch, hollow-
moulded with run-out stops and hood mould; C20 door. Single storey lean-to at the
left side with casement at the left side. To left, the C19 range has C20 window at
first floor. To right, a C20 window at ground and first floor. Attached to right is
a single storey lean-to with C20 window to front and C20 door at the right side. The
lean-to is build around a large external stack. At the rear, there is a 4-pane sash
at ground floor and 2-light casement at first floor left; the gable end of the C19
wing has C19 12-pane sash at ground and first floor.
Interior: The surviving right-hand room of the C17 house has the fireplace concealed,
formerly with an oven at the left side. At first floor, the doorway to the chamber
over the porch has a wooden ovolo-moulded frame with scroll stops. The feet of the
principal rafters are boxed in at first floor. In the roof, the trusses are very
roughly hewn, with irregular shaped principal rafters, cambered collars halved to the
principals. Formerly had threaded purlins. One purlin survives, chamfered.
