GV II
House. Late medieval, reconstructed c1600, sub-divided in C19, restored in later C20. Timber frame roughcast, with steep old red tile roofs hipped at rear. 2-storeys, U plan house with 2 gabled crosswings projecting unequally on W front, and very large rendered brick central chimney rising through the front roofslope, serving the hall and parlour wing to the N. This is an C18 replacement of a presumably timber framed older chimney, but retaining moulded fireplace lintols of c1600. There are twin 'Tudor' arched chamfered wooden doorways on the 1st floor into the chambers in the N wing. Unusual plan with a service room (? dairy) on E of very large parlour, stair rising on E of chimney, and entrance probably into S end of hall. 2 storeys W front has one window to each crosswing on each floor and 2 to recessed centre to right of projecting brick flank of chimney. Long, low, 2-light leaded casements (renewed). Framing inside upper floor suggests the earlier house was of Wealden type. (RCHM Typescript: EHAS Newsletter 28 (1968)).
