Description

House of the late 16th century and possibly earlier. It is timber-framed and plastered, of two low storeys, with a thatched roof, hipped on the south-east end and gabled on the north-west. There are small ridge line stacks and larger stack on ends. The house front has an off-centre 20th century gabled peg tile roofed porch on a high brick plinth. The windows are 20th century timber casements with diamond leaded lights. It has a complex structure with heavy unjowled posts and straight internal wall bracing at south-west end. There are remnants of a crown post roof with soot blackening, cambered tie beams, with curved bracing in centre. It is a probable small former open hall with an ancillary single aisled outbuilding at end. <1> See: <2>
