| Notes | House. Early C17 or earlier origin; c1690s high-quality remodelling; thoroughly repaired after dereliction in the 1980s. MATERIALS: Roughcast; roof gabled at ends, thatched to front of ridge, slated to rear; stacks with tall rebuilt stone rubble shafts. PLAN: 3-room and passage plan, with stairs rising to rear of passage, which is to right of centre, rear outshuts. Left-hand room heated from left end stack, centre room and right-hand room heated from rear lateral stacks, unusual arrangement of separate, diagonally-set stack to heat first floor room right. The arrangement of the rooms is unusual, with a dining-room/parlour at the left end, a parlour at the right end and apparently a hall or kitchen in the centre. The attic was evidently used for accommodation at one time, although the stair to the attic no longer exists. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 5-window front. Recessed 6-panel front door with lead drip ledge. All windows C20 timber 3-light casements with glazing bars except the right-hand pair which has C18 two-light 12-pane sashes. Right return has a C17 two-light ovolo-moulded mullioned window at attic level. INTERIOR: Paved passage (left-hand partition moved late 1980s). The kitchen, in the centre, has a complete pitched stone floor; open fireplace with rough stone lintel and sandstone jambs. Good c1700 panelled door with horizontal panel to parlour, at left end. This has a plain fireplace with rounded corner and timber lintel. Decorative moulded plaster oval of c1700 on ceiling, central rose temporarily removed. Pretty timber display cupboard with panelled doors and shell back is also of the same date. Right-hand room has original shutters and a late C18 panelled door with a matching cupboard door on the end wall. Stair with stick balusters and a ramped pine handrail. First-floor ceiling removed in left-hand room. Roof: Remains of side-pegged jointed cruck roof, crucks intact to front of ridge, left-hand end re-roofed following a collapse.
