Subsidiary stack projecting with wide base on SE end, rendered. Upper exposed brickwork C20. Rear NE elevation rendered as front, central range with cross-wing to SE end and C20 wing at NW end. Central range, ground floor 3-light casement window, simple gabled dormer with 2-light casement, 2x2 panes. Lean-to porch in brick with C20 boarded door. SE cross-wing has mid height wall break suggesting jetty as at front. Ground floor C20 single light casement, first floor one single light and one 2-light C20 casement windows. C20 porch on SE end flush to back with stable type boarded door with upper light in back wall. C20 wing at NW end. Ground floor brick, first floor rendered, half hipped roof.

INTERIOR considerably rebuilt with front and back walls replaced in brick. One studded cross-wall remains from medieval times between central range and cross-wing. Original doorway through evident to rear of block implying cross wall is high end of hall. Hall probably had a central crown post, avoided when principal stack built off apex, to front of hall. Cross-wing probably jettied at front and back but joists now present probably replaced c1600 when inserted floor set in hall - both have slender joists and lamb's tongue stopped chamfers on principal bridging joists. Primary braced timber-framing evident in hall upper bay end wall plus the C18/C19 style Mansard roof denotes considerable rebuilding before C20 general refurbishment and additions. Date of SE stack obscure, internally covered and externally rendered and rebuilt. It is probably early C17, when the floors were inserted.
