DESCRIPTION + /

Farmhouse, formerly the vicar's tower house. Probably early 14th century with 18th and 19th century additions. Tower has rubble and dressed red sandstone walls with chamfered plinth, some stones of Roman origin from the nearby Roman Wall; 19th century gabled slate roof. There is an 18th century extension of brick, with extensive alterations and additions in the mid 19th century, of dressed red sandstone, slate roof, brick chimney stacks. Tower of two storeys, single bay, has large projecting angle buttress to left (necessary because of the steep fall of land on this side). Small square window to ground floor, with 20th century casement to left, small filled lancet with round head above. Right end wall has filled entrance, with chamfered and shouldered lintel. Remains of newel staircase in thickness of wall. Two storey, three bay extension to right, has casements and sashes with glazing bars. Central projecting single storey, single bay extensions with sloping slate roof. Entrance front looks mid 19th century, with slightly projecting end bay of the original tower. Projecting porch/staircase has 20th century glazed door. Small and large casements with glazing bars. Built on a good defensive site next to the medieval church. Listing does not include the other farm buildings.
