GV II Farmhouse. Mainly early-mid C16; service cell to left is C18, replacing earlier work. Timber framed and plastered, pantiled roof. 3 cells. 2 storeys. Mainly sash windows with glazing bars, a canted ground floor bay to right. 2 mid C20 first floor casements to left. To right of centre is a mid C19 doorway with 6-panel door, plain surround and cornice; mid C20 enclosed lean-to porch. Fine stack against right gable end, a late C16 or early C17 addition. The plinth has 3 4-centre arched recesses. Above, the main body of the stack is parallel-walled as far as the roof, where the outermost face corbels out and then diminishes in a bell-like profile to an oblong base with the lower portions of 2 octagonal shafts. The upper part of the stack was once stuccoed, with a pattern of squares and circles in black; only fragments of this work now remain. Internal stack has plain C19 shaft. Interior. C16 work in 3 bays, one bay each for stack, hall and parlour. Good quality studding, heavy arched corner braces in parlour chamber. Hall has chamfered- joist ceiling. Parlour ceiling plastered over except for chamfered main beam. At junction of hall and parlour chambers is a former open truss with arched- braced cambered tie beam; a central vertical post extending to floor level is presumed to be a C17 insertion. Roof has a single row of wind-braced clasped purlins and arched-braced straight collars. C18 end has many re-used timbers and a clasped-purlin roof. The stack has been enlarged to provide a cooking hearth in this addition.
