The 1499 hall was open to the roof the smoke-hood at the high end is probably a later insertion while the hall was still open; the low [service] end was unheated and possibly also open to the roof; the hall was floored in circa 1692-7, at which time the house was remodelled and largely rebuilt in stone, including the parlour and chamber above with fireplaces in a stack backing onto the hall's smoke-hood. The wing behind the service end is probably C18 and its outshut on the side and the wing in front of the parlour are probably C19 additions. EXTERIOR: Single-storey and attic. Asymmetrical 4-window south front with cavetto-moulded stringcourse stepped over two 4-light chamfered stone mullion windows to left, chamfered doorway to right of centre with plank door, small window above to right and gable-ended wing projecting on right; on left two C19 ashlar gabled dormers with ball-finials.

INTERIOR: Service room at west end has chamfered cross-beams; parlour on east end has a chamfered axial beam. Hall has large fireplace with huge chamfered timber bressumer with broach stops [deep inner chamfer also with broach stops]; inserted floor with cyma-and-fillet moulded axial beams with hollow stops and stop-chamfered joists; scratch-moulded plank and muntin screen at low end of hall against tie-beam of cruck-truss which has evidence of head of shouldered arch doorway. The full-cruck-truss has a small yoke at the apex, it is a closed truss with smoke-blackening on the hall side only, the original infill survives, the collar is halved onto the cruck blades and the purlins are trenched into the backs of the blades and packing-pieces and spurs.

Stop-chamfered ceiling beam in rear wing. C18 and C19 joinery and details missing.
