C15 moated hall house considerably altered in the C16 when a long 5 bay
wing was added to the north, making an L-shaped plan. The south front
of the main block has 3 gables of unequal size and a modern gabled porch.
The north wing, now used as a barn, has a red brick wall with black brick
diapering on the west side and has a timber-framed and plastered east wall,
with a weather-boarded base. On the west side there is part of a brick
crowstepped gable with a chimney stack behind it. To the west of this
there is an early C17 wing with a small staircase projection at the west
end. The windows are modern casements. Roofs tiled, with a large square
internal chimney stack to the main block. The interior has the original
doorway from the former hall to the buttery wing and there is an open fireplace
in the west wall of the present kitchen. There is a considerable amount
of original roof construction. Only part of the moat now remains. (RCHM 3).
