Type and Period
Description
16th century timber-framed house, consisting of a one and a half storey hall with a contemporary crosswing at the west end, of two storeys and attic. The hall was much the same height as a low medieval open-hall but was always floored and heated by a chimney in a chimney bay. The original entrance was probably into the chimney bay with a cross-passage backing onto the chimney stack. The eastern bay of the hall range was a single unheated room entered from the hall. Timber-framed and plastered building with a tiled roof. A later block has been added at the south end. <1>
