Full description:
House, now forming Youth Hostel. Late C16 house altered, and added to, probably early C19. Large dressed stone, stone slate roof. 2 and a half storey to road, 2-storey to sides. Main interest is in the gable facing the road which has 3 double chamfered mullioned windows with arched lights, sunken spandrels and hollow chamfered mullions to ground floor. They are of 3 lights, 3 lights and 4 lights with hoodmould which continues over all with straight returns. The first floor has been added and has 2 flat faced mullioned windows of 3 lights with same to attic. Coped gable with kneelers and crocketed finial to apex which has carved ball. Similar gable to east end. Between are 4 bays. Only that to west end is original, 3 added bays, C19. These have sashed windows to the north entrance front and flat faced mullioned windows to the south of 3 and 5-lights. 2 stacks to ridge. The earliest building appears to have been a cross-wing running north to south, possibly built on to earlier timbered hall (conjectural), reorientated and rebuilt early C19.
