Two storeys; 2 windows. C19 sliding casements and penticed tiled porch. The original plan was a three-and-a-half bay hall-house with a rear aisle, cantilevered return aisle at the eastern end and front aisle as well, either one bay or full length. The rear arcade posts and rafters within the hipped ends are reused timbers from an earlier building of probable early C14 date. The arcade posts survive. The roofis a simple paired rafter and collar roof of early C15 date, heavily sooted. Circa 1600, this house was considerably altered by the insertion of a chimney and ceiling to open hall.
