House. Early C17, C18, and C20. Timber-framed, rendered and colour washed with peg-tiled roof. Plan rectangular but originally L-shaped, with main range and cross-wing to E. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. All the exterior windows are C20 replacement and all have diamond leaded casements. Some windows set into C18 window frames with moulded architraves. S front ground floor, C20 porch at junction of main range and cross-wing. To W window in an C18 frame, French door, window in extension.

First floor, small window over porch and to W 3 windows. Second window in C18 frame. To E, 6 windows fitted between studding of gable and a central window within C18 frame. Gable projects over with C20 barge-board. 2 stacks, one in line with porch and one on W end gable. Rear N elevation. E and W gables, flat-roofed 2-storey C20 extension between. Central porch, timber and brick, gabled, diamond leaded side lights and door glazed with glazing bars, 3x5 panes. Stack on N end of E gable in English bond. Windows irregular, ground floor metal casement to E of porch and 2 small windows in E cross-wing W of porch, one single and one double light casements. Boarded 'stable' door and 2-light casement in W extension. First floor windows, one on E gable, 2 on W gable and one on central range. INTERIOR: E cross-wing of superior build of 2 bays. Ground floor 2 rooms, S room with ovolo-moulded bridging joist and N room has lamb's tongue stopped chamfers. Joists of both rooms diminished haunched soffit tenons - set upon wall clamps. Evidence of windows on S and N ends. N one had major and minor mullions (probably ovolo type) First floor of cross-wing - internal corner tension bracing double nailed across studs and face halved and bladed scarf in W wall plate. Main range early C17, 2 bays and chimney bay. Ground floor central room, slender joists, bridging joist with lamb's tongue chamfer stops. First floor W room, N wall has mullion holes for 5-light window with shutter groove. Shutter groove also on opposite wall. Internal corner down bracing. Face halved and bladed scarf joint. Between cross-wing and main range are back to back fireplaces and stack (rebuilt) apparently contemporary with timber frame. Small window over front porch in line with stack on site of original window for closet that led off the upper chamber of the cross-wing but was sealed off from the chamber to W in main range. In the C18 the W cross-wing was added on N side and a rear ground-floor lean-to built between both cross-wings. C20 work includes the raising of the lean-to to 2 storeys. Some of the C18 tie-beams and studding remain within. The early C17 cross-wing and main range are contemporary and used the lobby entrance form although not symmetrical but still a medieval shape. The closet with window over the entrance is commensurate with this post medieval house form. Framing and jointing of cross-wing and main range are identical. Only the shape and high level of decoration distinguishes the cross-wing from the main range.
