Historic Environment Record entry
Listed building
Farm house with early origins, retaining historic character and vernacular features. Shown on the Richmond Map of 1795. Altered west wing, rear and east extensions. Central entrance, single pile.
A pair of stone corbelled fireplaces survive each side of the now open-plan ground floor room. The ground floor fireplaces appear to be mainly very late 17th century, but the east side fireplace reuses a lintel of 15th or 16th century origins, its joggle-cut ends designed to match similar cut shoulder-stones, it has a stone niche to one-side.
The west beam appears to be late 17th or early 18th century; it is of regular form and has a chamfer. The east beam appears earlier and is heavily chamfered, irregular and has a partition slot. A corbelled stone chamber fireplace with rendered hood survives in the upper east room.
Various stone openings appear in the rear, north wall letting into the rear extension. The opening in the upper central rear, north wall suggest a possible tourelle and the opening in the ground floor east side suggests that there may have originally been an east side outshut/storeroom.[2]
