Summary

Circa early-16th century house, remodelled in the circa early-17th century. Whitewashed rendered cob and stone rubble; thatched roof, gabled at ends; end stacks, axial stack with granite shaft. A late medieval open hall house in origin, (lower end to the right) floored in two phases; the inner room first, the floor of the chamber over jettying into the hall, the hall and lower end floored subsequently with the hall stack inserted, backing on to the through passage; the inner room and lower end probably unheated until the 18th or 19th century. The wide passage has been partly remodelled with a small room inserted to the rear, the stair rises to the rear of the hall with access from the passage. Probably 19th century outbuilding to rear of inner room remodelled and converted to a kitchen in the 20th century. The hall has an open granite fireplace (lintel replaced), with a 19th century brick-lined bread oven. An evolved house of medieval origins with an attractive exterior and good interior features.
