Full description:
C17. Timber-framed. Coursed rubble with large quoins, but mainly rendered. Stone slate roof. Two storeys, although the second storey is only visible in the gable end since it is a two-aisled long house. Five bays, 3 to the barn, 2 to the house, divided by a masonry wall which the hearth backs on to. King post trusses braced to ridge, on posts which are braced to both ties and to aisle plates: all intact. Principal elevation is in west gable end. Ground floor has two three-light stone mullioned windows with unmoulded flat drip stones (both with mullions removed). First floor has two two-light stone mullioned windows with hollow chamfers and one single light window. South elevation has one three-light hollow chamferred stone mullioned window, and one much larger two-light hollow chamferred stone mullioned window (mullion removed): from its size and the fact that the room it lights is heated this may have been the hall window. Barn entrances in recessed porches on cross axis. Group value.
