The grade II* listed building is described as "dwelling and workshop or store, sometime malt house, now dwelling and pottery" at https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1186590?section=official-list-entry but, having been holiday accommodation, it now seems to be a five-bedroomed home. The building has distinctly different exteriors, with "original block in sandstone rubble with some carving on the principal south front, remainder painted rubble ... a two-storey original C15 or C16 block with gable to road, with later 2½ storey building forming an L, and C19 infill ... a complex historical growth ..."
