Medieval or 16th century and later timber framed house.

March 1986. Grade II listed. The hall itself may be medieval or 16th century in date, altered in the 17th-18th centuries and the 20th century. It is timber-framed and plastered, with plastered brickwork in the right gable wall, roofed with handmade red clay tiles. The house has four bays with an axial stack one bay from the lefthand end and an internal stack behind the ridge at the righthand end. Both are small and late. There are 19th and 20th century windows, 20th century doors. Access to interior was refused at the time of the listed buildings resurvey but the owner supplied information that the interior had been modernised and plastered in 1961-1962 and retained oak framing and studding, some wattle and daub infill and the original north west wall plate, with another wall plate above it. A proper inspection of interior still needed but on basis of information supplied the hall 'is a medieval or 16th century house of which the roof has been raised in three bays'. <1> See photos <2>. Site Assessment: House still needs proper interior inspection. <1> NRHE data transfer: November 1975. Grade II listed. The house is as described by the RCHM but not outstanding.
