House, formerly two houses. Two early C17 houses, the eastern one with C14

windows of six lights on the ground floor, five lights on the first floor
and two lights to the attic. The right-hand bay is of two storeys and has
3-light windows. Chimney towards rear behind left-hand gable. The western
house has a gabled cross-wing at the left. It has a window of five lights
on the ground floor, four on the first floor and three to the attic. Set
back at the right are two bays, the left-hand one with its first floor window
within a gable. The right-hand bay is lower and is also gabled. A door, at
the left, has a chamfered surround with canted head. Chimneys to right of
door, on ridge of cross wing and at left. The link by Prentice has low eaves,
a central one-bay two-storey gabled projection, and a two-storey bay window
in the angle with the lower (western) house. To the left of the gabled pro-
jection is a 3-light mullioned window and a doorway with canted head. Chimney,
with clustered square shafts, on ridge of gable. The western wall of the west
house is of stone on the ground floor and is timber-framed in two rows of
square panels on the first floor. Interior: not accessible at time of survey
