16th century and later timber-framed house.

House of the 16th century, and extended in the 19th and 20th century. It is timber-framed, weatherboarded on the south and east, roughcast rendered on north and west, with roofs tiled. There is a two-bay service crosswing aligned north-south, jettied to south, of the early 16th century, with an external chimney stack on the west side, of the 19th century. The crosswing has a collar rafter roof, the ventral truss braced only by extended jowls and a high collar, in original condition. The hall block has a clasped purlin roof with straight tiebeams and straight braces to them, late 16th century, with re-used smoke-blackened rafters from the roof of a medieval hall. The axial beam and common joists of this block are stop-chamfered. The 16th century panelling reported by RCHM is missing. This building was tiled originally before 1948 it was thatched, and was then re-tiled. <1> See: <2>
