Timber frame exposed on rear wall and inside, C18 red brick infill, plum brick casing with blue headers in chequer pattern, and steep old red tile roofs. A 2-storeys house of 3 structural bays facing W with 1½ storeys brick rear wing containing entrance and staircase at W end. W front has plinth, 3 mullioned 3-light casement windows to each floor, segmental arches over ground floor windows, and blocked door opposite internal chimney a third from the S end. Lean-to C19 extension against S end continued along rear wall as far as rear wing. Similar oak mullioned casement windows with divided casements and stop-chamfered mullions in all parts of house. Fine C19 closed string oak staircase with ball on newel and turned balusters in Jacobean style. Exposed timber framework shows a full-height framed partition between narrow original N service bay and the other 2 rooms. Axial beam in middle bay. Paired chamfered axial oak beams and squared joints in S room. Signs of opposed doorways in middle bay as if for cross-passage against partition closing off N bay. Weathered timbers in former rear wall by staircase and exposed framing in walls of ground floor and 1st floor. Straight braces to tie beam and wallplate. Probably an original clasped-purlin roof, largely reconstructed with several old rafters. Domed brick bread oven with iron door in rear wing, with copper on opposite side of gable chimney fireplace. Heads of jowled posts let into tie-beam so that chamfers on each can be mitred at junction.
