Farmhouse with attached former stables and granary. Part of the north range and most of
the south range of the farmhouse are of C18 date. The north range was extended and
refronted in the early C19 and in the later C19 the south range linked to C18 stabling. A
later C20 extension to the west is not of special interest. The C18 part of the house is of
brick, now painted, the early C19 north range is stuccoed with incised lines to imitate
masonry with slate roof and rendered chimneystacks. The C18 stabling is of painted brick
with tiled roof and the former granary is weatherboarded with slate roof.
PLAN: The farmhouse now comprises two parallel ranges to north and south now linked to a
former stable attached at the south east corner which links by a wall to a former granary to
the east.
EXTERIOR: The northern range of the farmhouse has a symmetrical front of two storeys
three windows. The first floor has three 16-pane sashes without horns and the ground floor
has two cambered tripartite sash windows, each with 20 panes. The central doorcase has
panelled reveals, pilasters. paterae and cornice, a rectangular fanlight with pattern of
interlocking circles and six fielded panelled door. The eastern end retains cambered 16-pane
sash windows but the western end of the range has a mid C19 sash with verticals only. To
the rear is a lower range mainly of C18 date of painted brick with slate roof and part brick
modillion cornice. Some 16-pane sash windows survive to this range on the south west and
east sides. The west side has a mid C19 sash with vertical glazing bars only. The south east
side has a casement window to the upper floor. but below a ground floor conservatory two
casement windows survive. one with a cambered head lining. and a wide C18 doorcase with
plank door. There is a central tile-hung gable with multipane sash window to the upper floor
and C19 casement windows to the ground floor. The south range has a later C19 lean-to
extension to the west and a later conservatory to the south east. A late C20 brick extension
with sloping roof. multipane fixed windows and metal double doors was added to the west
but is not of special interest. Attached to the farmhouse at the south eastern end is an C18
former stabling range together with a service building. possibly originally a washhouse or
brewhouse. This is of one storey painted brick with half-hipped tiled roof with brick
modillion cornice and brick chimney to the north east. There are a number of casement
windows and stable doors. Attached by a section of brick walling is an early to mid C19 2x2
bay granary. This is weatherboarded with gabled slate roof on mushroom-shaped staddle
stones but a brick plinth has been built linking the staddle stones. There is a central plank
door approached up a wooden ladder.
INTERIOR: The north range of the farmhouse has a half-winder staircase with mahogany
handrail, stick balusters and column newel. The hall has a number of six-panelled doors. The
ground floor rooms to the northern range retain vertical shutters. The western room to the
southern range has exposed ceiling beams and an C18 cambered brick fireplace. The central
room to the south range has a diagonally placed ceiling beam. The kitchen has cambered
axial beams and a brick fireplace. There are a number of C19 fireplaces and the upper floor
has a C19 built-in cupboard to a bedroom in the north wing. The late C19 link block to the
south east has kingpost trusses and the upper floor was used for accommodating hirelings.
The interior of the former stables has a roof with purlin and collar beam and original rafters.
The northern room retains two brick fireplace openings. There are exposed floor joists and
cobbled floors and a wooden manger remain.
The former granary was not inspected internally.
An C18 farmhouse with good quality early C19 parlour wing added to the north and now
also attached to a formerly separate C18 stables and early to mid C19 granary.
