House of the 16th century or earlier. It is a 'T' shaped range of timber-framing rendered externally. The roofs are of peg tiles and hipped with gablets. The house consists of a two bay 'hall' and a three bay 'cross-wing' at west. There is a mixture of 20th century and old leaded light casements, and also 20th century coursed bressummer on southern elevation and flat roofed dormer over. The west has a three light gabled dormer and a red brick stack. It has a hipped roofed porch in angle between blocks. The frame is exposed internally and shows remnants of a cross passage and service door head. To the rear are an early 20th century two storey peg tile roofed extension with oriel windows and a living room formed from a 14th century barn moved from elsewhere. This has a peg tile roof and 20th century oriel window in oak. <1>
