In circa early C17 a floor was inserted into the hall creating a chamber above; the hall stack might have been built before the floor was inserted.

At the rear there are small casements, central doorway and large C20 conservatory to left.

INTERIOR: Right-hand room [hall] has chamfered axial beam with hollow step stops at one end, deeply-chamfered joists with similar stops and large fireplace with roughly chamfered timber lintel; doorway to outshut on right with cranked head. Smaller left-hand room has roughly chamfered axial beam and large joists; doorway in timber-framed partition with cambered head.
