House. Late C15 in part with C17 alterations and additions. Colourpainted rendered stone rubble and cob. Thatch roof with gable ends. Complex plan, the earliest exposed fabric surviving to the central section with gable ends to facade and rear, formerly an open hall. C17 alterations added a stack with tapered cap and drip heightened in brick, also probably the left-hand bay with brick stack at the gable end. The range to the right side may also date from this period and forms virtually a separate single cell wing with 2-storey outshuts to rear with corrugated asbestos roof and to side with slate roof, parallel to the early core with gable end to front and connected to it by porch with a wide entrance hall behind containing the staircase. 2-storeys 3-window range of 3-light casements, that to left side 8-panes per light on each floor, those to each gable have 2-panes per light. Pedimented porch with 6-panelled door, the upper 2 panels glazed flanked by 3-light window 8-panes per light to left and 4-light casement 2-panes per light to right. Slate sundial between the left and centre windows. 3-light timber ovolo mullion window to rear of staircase landing and C17 2-light timber window to east side of right hand range. Stop-chamfered beams and some early joinery to the three principal ground floor rooms. Chamber to central section has fine waggon roof with 3 moulded ribs sitting on ornately carved crenellated wall plate surviving to one side only, with richly carved bosses at the intersection of the ribs with the single tier of purlins and ridge purlin. The waggon roof does not extend the whole length of the central section, towards the stack end there is a lath and plaster partition to a closed raised cruck truss, which has heavier blades than the arch-braced collar rafter couples supporting the ceiled part. Both sides are, however, thoroughly smoke-blackened. A west wing was demolished in late C19.
