Description

October 1998. Grade II listed. An early-mid 16th century timber framed and weatherboarded house with gabled plain tile roofs. It is of open-hall plan type with a cross-wing to the right. The floor was inserted into the open-hall in the 17th century. The building is single storey with attics. There is a late 19th/early 20th century central plank door and a 20th century extension to the rear. The gable end of the cross-wing is matched by a large gabled dormer window added in around 1900, to the front of the former open hall. Internally, the jowled storey posts survive from the former two-bay hall. <1> See photo <2>.
