Two bays of C14 base-cruck/aisled hall survive, originally extending further in each direction, the left end replaced by late C16/early C17 service bay; floors and fireplaces inserted late C16/early C17. Now one storey and attic, 3 bays; windows mostly C20 small-pane wooden casements. Three 3-light windows with C20 board door between those on right. 2 pent-roofed dormers, of 3 and 2 lights, to left bays. Roof half-hipped with large stack forward of ridge in line with door; end stack on left. C20 single-storey bay on left and lean-to on right not of special interest. Rear: central bay has glazed door with probably C18 window with stanchions and iron casement with saddle bars and decorative catch on its left; section of timber framing above, heightened C20 and having 4-light window and pent-roof. A window to each outer bay, and 2-light dormer on left. Right return: ends of purlin exposed. Interior: C14 timbers are of large scantling and most are chamfered. 3 trusses survive, the outer trusses having jowelled wall posts with long arch braces to steeply-cambered tie-beam, the central truss having base cruck arch- braced to similar tie-beam and decorative central boss. Tie-beams support short crown posts with moulded bases and arch braces to collars and collar purlin. Collared rafters; curved wind-braces. Roof timbers are sooted. Chamfered arcade plates and secondary plates/cornices. The left-hand truss has infill framing including posts, arch-braces, ties from arcade posts to wall posts, and head of central chamfered, pointed-arched, doorway (part removed). Central bay has probably late C16 floor, the spine-beam and joists chamfered with stepped cyma stops; and large stone fireplace with timber bressumer, chamfered jambs, and brick lining with niche and former bread oven. Right bay has inserted floor with similar spine- beam and probably early C17 fireplace with chamfered stone quoins and brick 4-centred arch. Left bay has late C16/early C17 joists, the chamfers indicating position of former partition walls between central longitudinal corridor and flanking service rooms.
