GV II
House, now in 3 occupations. Initialled and dated "B.F.M.F.R.F. 1693" (Benjamin, Martha and Robert Ferrand) with slightly later cell added to right. Hammer-dressed stone, stone slate roof. 2 storeys. 2-cell, baffle-entry plan double-depth with added cell. All are double-chamfered mullioned windows. 1st cell has cottage doorway to left of 5-light window with 4-light above (lacks 2 mullions). 2nd cell, housebody, has 5-light window and 2-light (probably fire-window) with small single light to left of 3-light and 2-light windows above; dripmould over ground-floor windows; doorway with eared architrave and jambs treated as rusticated quoins, dated lintel with cornice, oculus window above. Coped gable to left with kneelers and stack; other ridge stack to right in position of gable at junction with added cell. This cell is set back and has 6-light window with king-mullion under hoodmould with spiral stop. The rear of this cottage has an original back door with a segmental lintel and broad chamfered surround. Rear of 1693 house breaks forward and has its original fenestration: five 2-light windows with a cross- window at mezzanine level to light the stair.
Interior: housebody has a very large fireplace with a wide segmental arch, cyma-moulded surround and spandrels carved in foliage patterns. small service rooms to rear. Replaced dog-leg staircase in original position. Added cell may have been a new parlour as all the beams are elaborately stop-chamfered. A cellar is reported to contain stained glass but was not inspected. The treatment of the main door surround is similar to that at Micklethwaite Grange (q.v.).
Built by the Ferrands on the St. Ives Estate close to the estate kennels.
