Please read our .

Summary

Grade II listed farmhouse. Its origins are perhaps late medieval or post medieval, but it was rebuilt in 1735 by Edmund Platt for Peter Legh X, using earlier timbers. It is built of coursed sandstone rubble with a graduated stone-slate roof. There is a full cruck frame against the north wall and probably elsewhere though they are all now hidden. Cruck frames are beams used in timber framing. Two curved timbers that are cut from the same tree, are used to support a roof, from floor to apex
