The description should be amended to read:-

House. Probably late C16, altered later C17/early C18 and subsequently; C20 extension of several builds principally 1986-7. Timber frame with replacement brick infill, some plastered panels, and brick underbuilding; extension of painted brick. Thatched roofs, half-hipped at right end. Rebuilt brick chimney at left end of older section. One storey, 2 bays, the left bay originally containing timber-framed wattle-and-daub chimney stack and probably unceiled, the right bay with attic floor. Extension on left of 2 storeys, 2 bays. Older section has square-panelled timber frame with straight braces up to wall plate; rafter ends visible. Entrance is at left end, having board door in open pent porch; to its right a 2-light leaded casement with 2-light dormer above. Right-hand bay has 2 small windows, with glazing bars in place of former 6-light mullioned window. Right gable end has two small C19/early C20 bay windows, that on left in place of former mullioned window; and a C19 3-light window above. The extension has small-paned windows, those on 1st floor wing above eaves; large lean-to porch at rear. INTERIOR: older section has late C17/earlyC19 brick inglenook fireplace, much reworked C20, and above it, in attic, framework survives from the former timber chimneystack; the attic floor of this bay appears to have been inserted at the same date as the inglenook, the spine-beam having chamfer and cyma stops at one end only and the joists unchamfered. The original window openings have shutter rebates in their heads and mortices from former mullions; one diamond-set mullion survives in the front window. Timber-framed partition wall between bays. Roof retains original purlins, wind-braces and rafters.
