base.
Plan: 3-room-and-through-passage plan with some lower room to the right. Newel

inner and lower rooms with probably inserted stacks.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 4-window front mainly of 1, 2 and 3-light C20

circa late C19 or early C20 2-light casement to right with diagonal glazing bars.
C20 plank door to passage towards right-hand end. Rear elevation has passage

circular stair projection towards right-hand end has gabled roof and small 3-light
Cl? wooden mullion window. Inserted doorway into inner room to right of stair
projection.
Interior: at lower side of passage is chamfered plank and muntin screen with hollow

hollow step-stopped wooden lintel. The 3 ceiling beams are similarly finished. C18
wall cupboard with fielded panel door. The hall has 2 C17 ovolo-moulded doorframes
with vase stops - one to the inner room and one to the newel stairs, a similar
doorway also leads into the hall from the passage. The newel stairs have solid oak
treads. At the top is a simple balustrade with rough finial to newel post. Cl?
chamfered double doorframe at head of stairs and one into the left-hand end 1st
floor room.
Roof: complete C17 roof which consists of straight principals with trenched purlins
and collars halved on with notched lap-joint. Over the stair turret is a blackened

structure.
This is a very complete C17 house which survives in a particularly unaltered state
and preserves a number of good quality features.
