Full Description
The house is built of roughly squared and coursed magnesian limestone rubble, with a high plinth along the road side. The western half has a lower eavesline than the eastern, and the pantiled roof is hipped over the eastern half, where the ridge runs back over a rear wing with a laithe beyond. The house was built in the 16th century as an L-shaped three room house, timber framed on a stone plinth, and may have included elements of an earlier building. The walls were rebuilt in stone at the beginning of the 19th century. In the mid 19th century the walls of the eastern range were raised and the laithe added to the northern end. (1)
