Farmhouse, now offices. Probably early C17; altered. Timber frame on stone plinth, with brick infilling partly rendered and all painted white; roof part slate and part corrugated asbestos sheet. Irregular L-shaped plan formed by 3-bay main range on east-west axis with short gabled projections to the north side of the centre and east bays, and a 2-bay crosswing at the east end projecting to the south. Two storeys; 3-bay north elevation with small central gable flanked by large wing gables; high stone plinth; exposed wall posts, intermediate posts and rails with angle braces, mostly of light scantling except in the centre where the timber appears to be applied, including a king-post gable truss with raked struts, whereas the wings have collars and raked struts. The left gable has an inserted doorway to the right, a small 4-pane sashed window above this, and a gable chimney; the centre has one altered window on each floor; and the right-hand gable has a 4-light casement at ground floor and an altered window above. The east side (to the street) is stepped in at the gable end, has coupled altered windows at ground floor and a pair of 2-light casements at 1st floor with leaded glazing, a narrow 2-storey gabled porch to the left with a doorway at ground floor and a small 2-light casement at 1st floor, and a large external chimney stack attached to the left of the porch. The rear of the main range has irregular framing making three wide bays, with various altered or inserted windows, and a doorway to the 3rd bay with studded batten-and-board door; the south end of the wing has been rebuilt in brick, painted in imitation of timber-framing. Interior: 3 structural bays with exposed wall-posts and principal-rafter roof trusses with raked struts and wind-braces to the purlins; C17 stop-chamfered ceiling beams and joists; 3rd bay altered as galleried entrance hall, probably in C19, with C17-style dog-legged staircase and C17-style muntin-and-rail panelling; similar panelling on both floors of centre bay; stone chamber fireplace in wing.
