House. C17, probably raised and altered in C18; altered, and porch added, in C20. Squared sandstone, raised in limestone to front; sides and rear of coursed rubble sandstone; pantile roof with brick stacks. Cruck-framed. L-shaped on plan. Two storey, two window front. Entrance in added porch at right gable end. Two-light casements with diamond leaded glazing to ground floor, with similar lights in enlarged fire-window opening at end right. First floor windows are similar but shorter. Renewed sills and lintels to all openings. Right end stack; roof hipped at left with stack at base of roof. Right return: gabled porch contains a studded plank door.
Interior; at right end, an inglenook fireplace with heck and bressumer survives, with bread oven and spice cupboard. Chamfered broach-stopped spine beam and chamfered joists with run-out stops. At rear is a beam with mortices possibly for boxbed partition. At left end the spine beam is stop chamfered and the studded partition remains. One raised cruck truss survives in each gable wall, and one in the centre. The end trusses have been damaged but the centre truss has a saddle apex with collar and studded partition.
Rear range has chamfer-stopped cross beam, chamfered hearth beam and joists. Remains of one raised cruck truss close to front range. Towards the centre an upper cruck couple is reused, possibly from this mutilated truss, raised on a tie beam and with collar and saddle apex.
