Domestic  

 

A 3-part house of mid C18 date, with central living hall, a parlour at the E end, and a service room, now the kitchen/dining room beyond the axial stack on the W.  

Built of Pennant sandstone and rendered, with a concrete tiled roof. Two storeys, 3 unit plan. Main entrance within a stone-built porch on the S side, opposite the stair and at the lower end of the living hall. Rear entrance, a part-glazed door to the service end. Sash windows.  

Three ceiling bay central living hall with one deep chamfered cross beam with cut stops and an axial stack, said to have a side oven, now furnished with a late C19 fireplace and surround. Timber partition to the upper parlour which has a gable stack with a fine painted slate late C19 fireplace. The stone winding stair in the N stair tower leads to the upper floor, divided by trusses into 4 bays and 2 narrower bays at the service end. Collar beam trusses, the principals seated in the walls, but detail covered up.  

Included as a C17 farmhouse in its original form, a good example of a house built at the period of change from the traditional C17 regional plan to the more Renaissance style house.
