Farmhouse. Mainly early C17 but with C16 core and later addition at the right hand end. Timber framed and plastered, the facade cased in colourwashed brick; pantiled roof. Two storeys and attic. Four windows, various casements, with one inset sash window to the left; central boarded door. Two internal stacks. On the ground floor the earlier part has heavy unchamfered joists and two diamond-mullioned windows: this may originally have comprised the lower bay of an open hall. The early C17 addition has exposed framing at first floor level, the remains of one five-light diamond-mullioned window and some original doors and floorboarding; newel stairs. There is a gap of some 0.3m between the framing of the two sections.
