House. C14-16, remodelled in C17; latter phase dated 1621 (by owner); extended early C19. English bond brick, right-hand end has tile-hung upper storey, axial left of centre brick ridge stack and tiled roof hipped to the right-hand wing. PLAN: 3-room parallel plan with right-hand cross range. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys; 4-window range. An asymmetrical front with tall rendered plinth has a central doorway with a reeded frame, flat bracketed canopy and a 6-panel door, early-mid C19 2- and 3-light leaded casements, that to the ground-floor left-hand bay with a segmental-arched head. A square stair tower to the left of the entrance has a hipped roof and single-light ground-floor and 3-light first-floor casements. Right-hand cross range extends front and rear with hipped roof and rear gablet, and a truncated rear corner lateral stack. Left-hand return has tile-hung first floor and half-hipped roof, with a lower C19 extension with a central lateral stack and half-hipped roof. INTERIOR: not inspected but noted as having two C14 aisle posts within the wall to the west of the entrance; roof includes re-used smoke-blackened rafters. Plinth suggests an original timber-frame, cased in brick. The presence of the aisle posts and other details suggest that rebuilding took place in the C15 or C16 with the addition of a solar room with central crown post.
