| Summary : A former farmhouse, now a house, which was probably built in the 16th or early 17th century. It has since been much altered and rebuilt, mostly in the late 18th or early 19th century, and has recently been restored. It is made from coursed sandstone rubble with large quoins and has a stone slate roof with some blue slate on the north slope of the main range. The two storey house has a modified L-plan, with the earliest range on a north-south axis now forming a wing to the east half of the present main range, which has an east-west axis. The present main range includes some of the earlier fabric, although it was mostly rebuilt or enlarged in the late 18th or early 19th century. It also includes a short extension at the east end, which appears to incorporate masonry of the earlier build. Deeds and wills of the 16th century refer to it as the New Hall, implying the existence of a previous hall house. |
