Timber framed with brick infill and brick rebuilding rendered to the front, red brick extensions; plain tile roof; brick integral end stacks. Former 2-bay open hall aligned east-west facing north and former cross-passage bay to the east. Extensions to the east, on the same alignment, and to the south, aligned north-south. 2 storeys; main house to right, extension to the left. Main house has 2 windows, casements and a door to the left within a slight recess. 2-storey extension of 2 bays length but only one set of casements, to the right. Rear: exposed timber framing immediately to the right of the rear wing with rail at mid-height and curved brace extending from wall-post to wall-plate. Interior: 2 exposed C15 cross frames in the centre and at the east end of the former open hall. At first floor level there are suggestions of a western truss hidden behind the plaster work. All three roof-trusses are visible in the loft. Both central and western trusses have heavily jowelled wall-posts and curved braces extending to the tie beams, the west truss also has curved braces extending from wall-posts to a rail at eye-level on the ground floor. The central truss has a chamfered fillet on the front of each wall post which is continued on the braces and cambered tie beam. Both north, and south wall-plates survive extending through the 2 main bays and the cross passage bay to the east. The roof trusses have central vertical struts and flanking raking struts between tie beam and collar, clasped purlins and principal rafters which are reduced in width above the collar to conform to the size of the common rafters, most of which survive.
