Full description:
House. Late C17 single-cell with double pile 2-cell addition mid C19. C17 house has thin rubble stone and large rough-dressed quoins. C19 house is of hammer-dressed stone. Both have stone slate roof. 2 storeys. C17 house has double chamfered mullioned windows of 2-lights to ground floor to north east, with chamfered mullioned windows of 2 lights over. Doorway has heavy lintel and chamfered surround. South west facade has 4-light double chamfered mullioned window with a single chamfered light and one of 2 lights to 1st floor. Similar doorway to rear forming a through passage. Coped gable. It would appear that originally the house was more than one cell, but the C19 house has removed the evidence except for a fireplace with corbelled jambs, chamfered surround with decorated lintel inscribed 'A S F, 1 7 3 7'. This fireplace survives inside the rear room of the double-pile. The C19 house rises a storey higher than the C17 build, and has windows with projecting sills. 4 stacks. Attached to north west gable is single storey outbuilding of late C18 character with 3-light flat faced mullioned window to south.
