House, C16, altered in early C17 and C20. Timber framed, plastered, roofed with machine-made red clay tiles. 3-bay main range aligned NW-SE, with axial chimney stack at SE end of middle bay. 3-bay NW crosswing jettied to the NE. Aspect NE. C20 single-storey rear extension to main range with lean-to roof of slate. Main range single storey with attics, crosswing of 2 storeys. C20 door, 4 C20 casement windows. 2 plain brackets and joist ends exposed below jetty. First floor, 2 C20 casement windows, of which one is in a swept dormer. The interior has jowled posts. The floor in the SE bay is original, of lodged joists of square section arranged longitudinally. The floor in the middle bay is an insertion of c.1600, with plain-chamfered axial beam and plain-chamfered joists of horizontal section with lamb's tongue stops. The NW bay of the main range is open, as a stair hall. The crosswing has plain-chamfered binding and bridging beams with step stops, and plain-chamfered joists of horizontal section with step stops. A major renovation of 1967 is responsible for some alteration in the SW bay and the rebuilding of the roof. Both internal tiebeams in the main range have been removed. The large wood-burning hearth is of 330mm brickwork, c.1600. The accessible evidence suggests that this is a late hall house converted to an upper storey throughout c.1600. RCHM 13.
