Cottage, early C17 with parlour wing to the East added or
rebuilt late in C17 or early C18. Timber-framed on a clunch
sill with rendered walls and steeply pitched, plain tiled roof
with a late C17 ridge stack of gault brick with a
string-course. Two storeys. One sealed original window opening
to a room above the service bay, and a three light window is
probably in the site of the original hall window. The lobby
entry doorway has been sealed. Adjoining on the West is a
single storey addition with a rebuilt roof. The wall to the
road has a window with two diamond mullions. The late C17 or
early C18 parlour wing is timber-framed, rendered on a brick
sill but has a gable end of narrow brick. The plain tiled roof
is hipped at the junction with the main range. The gable end
has an end parapet on kneelers and a stack with two linked
shafts and projecting capping. Inside. The two-bay hall has a
cambered tie beam, chamfered, with arch bracing (now removed).
The principal posts have thickened heads and they are also
thickened at ground floor to carry the bridging joists of the
ceiling frame and the middle rail of the wall frame. The
inserted staircase and hall bay has framed partition walls and
the original stairs, although the newels appear to have been
replaced. The parlour wing at first floor has C18 cupboards
flanking the hearth.
