House, now a public house. C16 or earlier, altered in early C17, C18, and early C19. Timber frame, plastered and lined as ashlar roughcast N gable and rear, painted brick rear extensions. Painted brick plinth. Very steep red tile roof. H-plan former hall-house facing E, with the ground floor level lower in the 2 2-storeys crosswinqs. Floor inserted in hall in early C17 with central chimney probably sited in the cross-passage. Staircase to rear of stack. At same time side walls of hall heightened and a new steep pitched roof built extending over the crosswings and running down lower over their front projections, and with deep eaves overhang at rear. Roof over centre reconstructed in C18 but curved wind-braces to purlins of older roof remain over crosswing. 2-storeys front to road, 3-windows long, but of 4 structural bays. End bays project. Flush box sash windows to 1st floor with 6/6 panes. On ground floor a small paned Yorkshire sliding casement to the right hand projection, a half- glazed panelled door into the left part of the centre, flanked on each side by a projecting canted bay window. Bay on right has small paned casements, bay on left has sash windows with 4/4:10/10:4/4 small panes. The bays are roofed and linked by a lean-to tiled porch with open front carried on 2 posts and small central gable. Internal gable chimney at S and rear lateral chimney to N wing appear to be C18/19 additions. Interior has heavy flat-laid joists exposed in rear part of S wing on ground floor, and jowled posts of the former central hall on the 1st floor. Floor in middle part of ground floor probably raised to the level of the abutments of the new bridge built in 1824-5.
