What is recorded here

Detached four-bay two-storey house, built c.1820, with extension to north. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls. Trefoil-headed window openings to gables and round-headed elsewhere, some paired, all with replacement windows. Square-headed door opening with replacement timber glazed door. Remains of seventeenth-century house and ruins of thirteenth-century hall and towerhouse to north of site. Four-bay two-storey outbuilding to north of house with rubble limestone walls, pitched slate roof, square-headed openings to first floor, segmental to ground. Adjoining two-storey building to north is possible bastle house, with rendered stone walls, projecting chimneystack and flight of steps to first floor doorway. Cobbled courtyard.
Set in mature gardens, this house has retained much of its original form and structure, despite additions and alterations. The house retains its round-headed and unusual trefoil-pointed window openings which enliven the façade. Also to the site are the remains of thirteenth, fifteenth and seventeenth-century dwellings which add very considerable archaeological and social history interest to the site.
