Description

House of the 16th and 17th century. It is timber-framed and plastered with peg tile roofs, and is of two storeys and 'L' plan form but with large two storey 20th century rear extensions linking to 19th century outbuildings at rear. The roof is hipped with a gablet at east end and hipped at the west and returning to form the crosswing ridge. The front has 19th century casement with single horizontal glazing bars and off-centre oak entrance door with oak surround. There is an off centre 19th century square brick stack and smaller stack against west crosswing and a 16th century parlour crosswing with jowled posts and cambered tie beam. The main block is of mid 17th century and a rebuilding of earlier open hall. An inglenook stack is partly of clay. <1> See: <2>
