Description
Originally a 15th century moated manor house and still surrounded by the moat. The house is approached by a brick arched bridge on the north. It was altered in the 16th to 17th century and later. On the east side the ground storey has been built out with a tiled lean-to roof and a modern gabled porch. The north and south gabled ends and the west front are faced in red brick and the centre part of the west front breaks forward and is gabled. It has casement windows and the roof is tiled. The interior has exposed timber-framing, ceiling beams, and joists. The moat is said to have been the site of an iron age fort. <1>
