What is recorded here

Detached single-bay two-storey house, built c.1800, now derelict. Remains of addition (east). Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Rubble stone walls. Square-headed openings with replacement two-over-two timber sliding sash windows and stone sills. Square-headed door opening.
Though now in poor condition, this building is a picturesque addition to the surrounding landscape. The compact scale and form is typical of the vernacular tradition, which maximised heat by keeping window openings to a minimum, maintaining a small footprint and providing accommodation in the roof space. While the substantial stacks and irregular openings are recognisable vernacular features, the gable entry is unusual.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
