PLAN: C15 hall house remodelled in C16 and later (see historical note below). EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, 2 ranges of windows to left of door, a gabled projection and one range of windows to right of it. Early C19-style patterned lead and timber casements of 3 Tudor-Gothic lights. First-floor windows dormered, treated as 5-light oriels in gable. Ground-floor windows to left of door have shutters. Door in hipped hooded porch in angle with gabled break, C20 door with studs and strip hinges and ovolo surround. Low heavy buttress to left wing may indicate bread oven, carved plaster tablet in gable. Long lower single-storey extension to rear (the west wing) with exposed small square panels of timber-framing and a pair of large lead-paned casements, continued to south in brick. Rear L-plan plus a narrow C20 projection for bathroom etc. in matching style. INTERIOR: ground-floor south room (hall) a particularly large C16 fireplace with large roll-moulding and depressed 4-centred arch; southern jamb of chimney-stack is chamfered at south corner with lozenge stop at base and run-out stop; hollow-chamfered beam. Exposed posts to front wall and parlour. Exposed timber-framing with arch braces to west wall of rear wing (malthouse/kitchen) and post in entrance hall which may be the foot of a cruck.

There is certainly one and possibly 3 cruck trusses. HISTORICAL NOTE: in its original form the house had a central hall open to the roof and heated by an open hearth; the fireplace was installed C16 when an upper floor was added.
Parlour created late C16 by adding projecting gabled bay at front, lit by large oriel windows. C16 rear wing was originally a malthouse. 'The house was largely unaltered until the Regency period .. when it received a new staircase and rear extensions, and the windows were given 'Gothick' leaded lights.'
