‘(17) HOUSE (05479879), now divided into two dwellings, is two-storeyed and has brick walls with stone dressings, and tiled roofs; it appears to be of late 17th or early 18th-century origin. The W. front has a brick plat-band and casement windows of three and of two square-headed lights in rebated and chamfered stone surrounds; some of these openings have been renewed and altered. The doorways are modern, but traces of an original doorway occur at the centre of the W. front, which at first was probably symmetrical and of five bays. The E. elevation seems also to have been originally symmetrical, with windows and plat-band as on the W., but it now is masked by a service wing and an additional chimney-stack. Inside, some chamfered beams are exposed. The original plan was of class T.’
