Late C15 or early C16. Three bay hall-house with 2 bay hall and one end floored.
Two storeys timber-framed with painted brick infilling, the south front refaced
with painted brick on the ground floor and tile hung above. Hipped thatched roof.
Four casement windows. Interior contains crown post. The old partition wall
remains between the hall and service with 2 doors. The lath and daub hood remains
for an inserted smoke bay which is a rare survival. The wooden jambs of the smoke
hood now frame the inserted brick chimney. This is one of only 2 remaining mediaeval
thatched houses in Charlwood but the original roof pitch may have been intended for
Horsham stone slabs. (See Joan M Harding "Four Centuries of Charlwood Houses" p 38).
