House. Probably a late C16 hall house, with alterations in the
C17 and later. Timber-framed, with a brick ground floor and
brick nogging. Colourwashed. Pantiled roof. Surviving building
probably represents only the hall section of a standard hall
house.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys; 2-window range. Ground floor with a C19
bay window and a C20 door to the left, probably indicating
site of a through-passage. First floor is jettied and fitted
with 2 windows, a late C20 top-hung casement left and a 6/6
unhorned sash to right, both under segmental heads. Bell-based
gabled roof. Internal gable-end stack to west and external
stack to east. Rear wall formerly jettied but now very much
rebuilt in brick. One and a half storey rear cross-wing,
pantiled, gabled and with a ridge stack.
INTERIOR: original internal plan difficult to gauge, but
remains are consistent with a hall house. Ground floor with a
bar and tongue-stopped bridging beam and spine beam. Timber
frame with jowled principal studs carrying chamfered and
cambered tie beams on arched braces. Only one brace remains.
Mid C18 roof structure consists of one tier of taper-tenoned
butt purlins, but mortices and stumps of queen posts remain on
upper surface of ties, indicating a C16 queen-post roof
originally.
