To attic, south wing, extensive timber-framing, chamfered beams, wall plates. North wing not inspected. EXTRA INFORMATION: The Wootton Wawen Report considered the north wing to be a survival from a single- or double-ended hall building of which the present central and south elements represent a rebuilding. The hood above the entrance may have been brought from elsewhere in the early C19. Rebuilding c1700 was likely to have been the result of a general programme by King's College, Cambridge, to which the area had been endowed by Henry VI in 1414. Forms part of a good range of farmhouse and associated farm buildings which include the Barn Range (qv), Cart shed with Stable and Hayloft (qv) and Stables (qv).
