2. Farmhouse - former Court Hall? C15, early C16 and C19. Timber framed and part plastered; part encased in gault brickwork. Mixture of hipped and gabled roofs, some in peg tiles and some in Welsh slate. Very complex plan form with numerous additions and alterations. Windows are a mixture of C17 and C20 casements in the later blocks. The south eastern corner block is of primary interest and this has an asymmetrical low pitched slate roof and C19 gault brick facing. Windows are small pane double hung sashes with a canted bay on the ground floor. To the rear of this is a C19 extension with gabled peg tile roof with plain barge boards and tripartite double-hung sash windows without sub- divisions. This block has a rectangular projecting window bay on its south east face. Substantial remains of a high quality timber framed building survive within the south eastern block. This was a 2-storey building, jettied to the north east and with 2 open bays on each floor. Fragments survive of the front entrance door and an elaborate window, with moulded mullions and arched heads to each light, survives complete in the front wall. The roof has simple crown posts with longitudinal braces and traces of the original stair opening remain. The building was clearly non-residential in character and a manorial Court Hall is suggested. Adjoining the supposed court hall, to the north west is a cross- wing of the probable early C16. This was jettied to the front and 'open-framed' against the existing 'court hall'. The cross wing has a simple crown post roof and was hipped with a gablet to the rear. This cross wing appears to have been added to convert the 'court hall' into a small house. The additions further to the north west, contain C17 framing and reused fragments of moulded mullion windows. Moated site.
