Farmhouse. Circa 1840, with little late modernisation. Ground floor is Flemish bond red brick, first floor is exposed timber-framing and gables are hung with bands of red and darker red tiles. Brick stacks have tall ornamental chimneyshafts, divided octagonal shafts with star-shaped cornices. peg-tile roof and ridge tiles include a regular series of crested ridge tiles.
Plan: L-plan farmhouse facing north west towards the lane. The main block has a 3-room plan. Large axial stack between centre and right rooms serves back-to-back fireplaces on 2 floors. Centre room is probably the kitchen and left room an unheated service room. An axial stack serves the first floor chamber over. Front block projects forward at right angles from the right (south west) end. It includes the front doorway on the left side of the front end and the room in the wing has a projecting outer lateral stack.
2 storeys with attics in the roofspace.
Exterior: Attractive Tudor Gothic style. Irregular 1:1-window front. The first floor left window (to the main block) has a plain mullioned frame, possibly a replacement. The others are square headed with timber frames, hollow-chamfered mullions with trefoil-headed heads. The taller windows are transomed. The gable end, the attic storey, of the crosswing contains a narrow trefoil-headed lancet above a timber plaque with a cusped quatrefoil panel. The front doorway, in the front end of the crosswing, has a solid timber frame; a Tudor arch with chamfered surround and sunken spandrels. It contains the original plank door. The main roof. and front wing are gable- ended with plain bargeboards and apex pendants. Another gable to rear of main block left (north east) of centre. Similar Gothic style windows around the rest of the house. The first floor of the front crosswing jetties forward on shaped timber brackets, so too does the left (north east) end and this jetty is carried round the back to include the gabled section there.
Interior: Was not available for inspection at the time of this survey but original joinery and other detail is suspected.
