Former farmhouse, previously called Red House Farmhouse. Mid and late C16. 2 storeys and attics; 3-cell plan in 2 builds. Timber-framed, faced in mid C19 red brick, part rendered, part roughcast, part plastered on sides and rear. Black glazed pantiles. An internal chimney-stack with a plain rebuilt shaft of Tudor bricks. 3 casement windows to each floor, 2-light to upper floor, 3- light to ground floor, all with transomes. 4-panelled door with sunk panels, the top 2 glazed, the under gabled porch roof, and a 2nd door on the extreme left. The interior has heavy timbering and particularly close studding. The older part of the house, to the right of the stack, is in 3 bays, and was originally divided into a 2-bay hall and 2 service rooms with a cross-passage between. A single main ceiling beam over 30 feet long spans the whole of this range: it has a double roll-moulding over the former hall, and a plain chamfer over the former passage and service rooms, supported by arched braces, now removed. The service end partition has also been taken out. Above it is an open truss with a heavily cambered tie-beam supported by long arched braces, all with cavetto moulding and curved stops. A studded partition lies above the centre of the 2-bay hall. This reversal of layout as between upstairs and downstairs is most unusual, but does appear to be original to the house. The parlour end, to the left of the stack, has a main beam to the ground floor room with 3½" chamfer and curved stops with a double bar. Fireplace lintel with a pronounced camber and widely chamfered soffit. The upper ceilings are original, and there are several blocked original windows. Arched braces in the long walls and tension braces in the end wall; an original upper fireplace with timber lintel. Long jowls to main posts; arched braces removed. Roof in 2½ bays, with one row of unstepped butt purlins and one row of clasped; cranked windbraces; the principal rafters are not diminished, but are cut back and chamfered around the clasped purlins.
