| source data:- | courtesy of English Heritage "Farmhouse, now public house. Probably late C17 and late C18; altered. White-painted rubble with quoins, stone slate roof. Single-depth linear plan on roughly north-south axis, the earlier portion forming the southern third, plus a large rear outshut covering part of the earlier portion and all of the later." "EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, 2:4 windows, the earlier portion to the left breaking forwards slightly. The later and larger portion to the right has a square-headed doorway offset left (up 4 re-built steps) with a shallow 5-pane overlight and a narrow 8-pane hornless sashed to its right, and these openings are flanked by 16-pane hornless sashes; and the 1st floor has 4 similar sashes. The 2-window earlier portion to the left has a boulder plinth, one similar sashed window offset left at ground floor and 2 at 1st floor. At each end of the 1st floor is a metal sign-bracket, that to the right with a painted inn sign. Ridge chimney and gable chimneys. The south gable wall (i.e. of the earlier portion), with some through-stones, has a chimney projection at ground floor only, and a blocked chamfered 1-light window on each floor near the front corner, with hoodmoulds. Rear: earlier portion has a blocked 1-light window on each floor, that at ground floor round-headed with hollow spandrels, and left of these a former 2-light window on each floor, lacking mullions." "INTERIOR: altered. Picturesque site overlooking River Dee." |
