Description
December 1999. Grade II listed.
A farmhouse built in around 1760 with a front block added in around 1870 and the interiors remodelled. The building built of whitewashed brick with some render, and the roof is covered in slate to the front and with plain tiles on the rear wing.
The west (front) elevation of around 1870, which can be viewed from the road, is two-storeys and has a three-window range. There is a square central porch with coved parapeted top. There are external chimney stacks to the returns, which protrude through the front of the roof slope.
The rear elevation, which displays the mid to late 18th century build, is also two-storeys and has a dormer attic and a similar three-window range. On the ground floor, there is a projecting single-storey bay to the north end. The Mansard roof has two gabled dormers fitted with 20th century windows. There is an external chimney stack to the north gable on the east roof slope.
At the south end is a single-storey late 19th century extension with an external gable end chimney stack. On the south return is an 18th century two-storey gabled staircase tower pierced by one round-headed first-floor window with stained glass, and one six-paned attic casement. To the east is an oversailing extension supported on one timber post (with a second post added in the late 20th century).
Internally, the 19th century front block has four-panelled internal doors; a marble chimneypiece and cast iron insert in the north front room; a slate chimneypiece in the south room; and panelled window shutters. <1>
