In C18 a brick 2-room plan range was built at the front, the left room heated from a central axial stack, the right-hand room might have been unheated originally and stack on right side could be C19 addition.

Small hipped dormers on right and left sides, roof on left [E] carried down to low eaves. At rear [S] hipped dormer with casement above C20 single-storey brick extension with gable on left.
INTERIOR: Range at rear has some exposed timber-framing; jowled storey-posts supporting chamfered tie-beam of a queen-post truss with clasped purlins and straight wind-brace, the common-rafter couples appear to be smoke-blackened; floor has chamfered axial beam with hollow-step stops and exposed unchamfered joists; ground floor room has large brick fireplace with blocked oven and re-used timber bressumer. Left [E] room of front range has chamfered axial beam with cyma stops and brick fireplace with re-used timber bressumer; front range has tenoned-purlin roof.
