GV II*

Farmhouse, with attached outbuilding. Described in former list as "C16, originally a hall house, extended and altered in 1655", but probably mid to later C17 enlarged and raised in early to mid C18. Roughly coursed mixed rubble, mostly painted white, stone slate and green slate roof. Single-depth 3-bay plan on east-west axis facing north with added staircase outshut to rear (south) and outbuilding continued to east. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and 5 windows grouped 2:3; with a plinth to the full width of the house. The 3-window portion (probably the earliest extent of the dwelling) has a gabled porch of 2 low storeys between the 2nd and 3rd windows, with a chamfered segmental-headed outer doorway, a square-headed inner doorway with a heavy oak door on strap hinges, a segmental-headed 1-light window above and a ball finial. The ground floor has 3 chamfered stone mullion windows with hoodmoulds: a 4-light housepart window to the left of the porch and a 2-light fire-window to the left of that, and a 2-light window to the right. Above these, the upper floor has a 2-light fixed window, a square window of 2 unequal lights with fixed small-paned glazing (9+3) including 3 opening panes, and a small 6-pane sash. The 2-window portion to the left has a small 2-light window at ground floor (with traces of a formerly wider opening to its right), and a small 2-light casement and larger 16-pane sash above. All the windows at 1st floor have wooden lintels. Square ridge chimney offset left, lateral chimney at junction to left, stump of finial on right-hand gable. The outbuilding continued to the left has a square-headed doorway and a small window at ground floor level, and a lean-to at the east end. The rear of the house has (inter alia) a full-height lean-to staircase outshut with a window, and in the west angle of this a low pentice roof protecting a cheese press; the rear of the outbuilding has a small wagon doorway near the east end protected by a shallow lean-to porch. INTERIOR: housepart to left has 2 large chamfered lateral beams, that to the left in the position of a smokehood bressumer but with mortices apparently of a former wooden partition on its west side, and undercut at south end as if for a staircase; a fine early to mid C18 cupboard built into the opening of former window in the rear wall, with shaped fielded panel doors and 2 drawers, and at a low level to the left a re-located spice-cupboard with raised lettering "T/A L/1655"; and a large C18 rectangular stone fireplace with corbelled lintel and moulded cornice (the opening partly blocked and papered over). Dog-legged staircase with closed string and wavy splat balusters. Forms group with barn approx. 5m north-east (qv) and washhouse approx. 2m north (qv).
