Description
1. Early 17th century rubblestone, 2 storey, gable ends, stone stacks, slated, buttressed agricultural range to left, with loft dated 1620. Interior enriched plaster amorial panel.

2. Late C16/ early C17 origins, although the house and outbuildings have been extended and remodelled. Constructed of roughly coursed and squared stone with slate roof. The centre range forms the main part of the present house, and incorporates renewed UPVC windows in earlier openings, with flat stone lintels. To the right is the extension which is dated 1887. Internally, the wall which now divides the outbuildings from the main part of the house has exposed timber framing in its S-facing gable with a massive tie beam and collar truss. A simple moulded plaster roundel is dated 1620. On the opposite side of this wall is a cost of arms in low relief, possibly stone, and perhaps also early C17.

3. The house is in origin a fully-storeyed lobby-entry house with a central back-to-back fireplace. The 1620 plaster roundel (with the initials I V) and the armorial panel are on either side of the chimney in the first-floor chambers. C19th replanning included the addition of a parlour at the lower end and the addition of an agricultural cross-range at the upper end, probably incorporating a bay of the C17th house. The house is now derelict (with consent for conversion) but the detail described in the listing still survives. Not noted in the listing is a reused stone head, possibly of late-medieval origin) re-set in the front elevation to the right of the lobby entrance. (R. F. Suggett/RCAHMW/16.vi..2005)
