Farmhouse, now house. Probably early C16, enlarged in later C16. Timber frame
with rendered brick cladding at ground floor, brick nogging above, with some
tile-hanging and red tile roofs. L-plan: hall range of 3 structural bays with a
projecting wing aded to the 3rd. One-and-a-half storey hall and 2-storey wing;
the hall has a doorway in the centre (under a pitched canopy), a modern 3-light
casement to the left, some exposed posts and light studs above ground floor
level, a small dormer offset left of centre, and an axial ridge chimney offset to
the right; the left gable wall has a window at ground floor, and tile hung gable
with an attic window. The projecting wing, which half overlaps the right-hand
end of the hall range, has exposed wall-posts with convex braces to the tie-
beam and an arched brace to the wall-plate of the re-entrant, 2 queen struts
and a king strut; a square modern window at ground floor and a 2-light
casement at 1st floor; a small 2-light casement at ground floor of the re-
entrant side; and an external chimney stack on the return wall, Interior: the hall
range is of 3 structural bays, the centre narrower than the ends and now
containing the chimney stack with back-to-back inglenook fireplaces; the timber-
framing includes large stop-chamfered beams and joists at ground floor, and
jowelled wallposts, wallplates, tie-beams and one arch-brace; vacant mortices in
the posts of the 2nd frame suggest that this frame was formerly closed (perhaps
as part of a smoke bay); wallplate at front of 3rd bay removed for addition of
wing.
