House. C14, extended C18, with some late C20 additions. Timber-frame with tile and corrugated iron roof; brick with tile roof and concrete block with tile roof. L-plan, with limbs extending to west and north. The latter is C18 to the north end, C20 to south. The former is C14 with a contemporary cross-wing to the west. West front of later range is of two storeys with dog-tooth brick cornice, two windows, each a 2-light casement under segmental head. Ground floor has one 2-light casement and two entrances, each with a segmental head and a ledged and boarded door. The C20 portion has a window on each floor immediately to the right of this range. The C14 timber-frame is stripped to frame. Interior of hall is of two main bays with cross-passage to east end. The spere truss between hall and passage has an arch-braced collar and a tie-beam. The soffit of the tie-beam has empty mortices indicat- ing the position of the spere posts, which had angle braces up to the tie-beam. The side panels were filled with wattle-and-daub. The central truss has a low set collar originally with arch-braces from the wall-posts. Above the collar are two cusped raking struts, forming a central quatrefoil panel flanked by two trefoils. The intermediate truss in the upper bay is a simple arch-braced collar. The two tiers of purlins have cusped wind-braces. Most of the wall- frame has been removed, but there is evidence of a 4-light window in south wall with two diamond mullions preserved. The louvre, which was recorded, has been removed. The cross-wing is of two framed bays and is floored. The wall- frames have large curved angle braces to both floors. The roof is of clasped purlin construction with simple curved wind-braces. Entrance to hall (later blocked) has an ogee head. The lateral stack on the west wall is of ashlar with a brick shaft.
