Late 16th century timber-framed farmhouse.

House and former farmhouse of the late 16th century. It is timber-framed and plastered with a pegtile roof. The house is of a basic 'T' plan shape with crosswing at the south-west end with a roof hipped at the front and gabled at the rear. The 'hall' range has a higher ridge line and is gabled. The north-east gable triangle is black weatherboarded and there is a small area of similar boarding on the upper part of the south-west gable. It is of two storeys but with single storey lean-tos with pantiles against the north-east gable and to the rear. The front has a 20th century angle porch with a hipped pegtile roof and imitation framing. The windows are 20th century metal casements with square leaded lights. The house has red brick stacks break through the ridge line, near the front of the crosswing and near the north-east gable. Internally the framing is exposed showing 'in-line' hall and parlour/solar with bracing proud of studs as in barn adjoining. There are jowled posts and side purlin roof with arch braces, halved and bladed scarf joints. It is a probable former open hall. The stack in the east end of the hall has integral bread oven with cast iron door in face. <1> See: <2>
