- II
House, mid C18th, with C17th house to west now used as farm building. Sandstone rubble with stone slate roof. House of 2 storeys and 3 bays. Windows have flat-faced mullions and plain stone surrounds, and are of 3 lights except for the left-hand one on the ground floor which is of 4 lights and the central one on the 1st floor which is of 2 lights. Door, in central bay, has plain stone surround. At the right of the door there appears to be a blocked doorway. Gable chimneys. Set back at the left is part of the C17th building, which has 2 2-light rebated and chamfered mullioned windows under one hood on the ground floor and one similar window above. Further left, and set back slightly, is a former house, probably early C17th, which originally had a roof of steeper pitch. Its front wall now has a wide entrance with plain reveals and concrete lintel. Its windows are blocked. To the right is one with rebated and chamfered surround. To the left is a similar window of 2 lights with hood. Above it is a one-light chamfered window with segmental head. The left-hand (west) gable wall has a chimney stack carried on corbels at 1st floor level. To its right are blocked windows: one of one light with chamfer on the ground floor and one of 2 lights with rebate and chamfer above. The rear wall has a one-light rebated and chamfered window on the 1st floor towards the left. Further right is a door with plain reveals. A dog-leg in a straight joint near this point suggests a sequence of rebuilding and alteration of roof pitch. Further right is a blocked doorway with long-and-short jambs, a chamfered one-light window with segmental head, and a blocked window. On the 1st floor are 2 pitching holes with re-used C17th dressings. Inside there is a modern 1st floor at a higher level than the original. The roof trusses and fireplace were not accessible at time of survey.
