Former farmhouse. Mid C16 and early C17. Part 2 storeys, part 2 storeys and
attics: a main range and later cross-wing. Timber-framed and rendered, with
pantiles on the southern slope of the cross-wing and the remainder of the roof
thatched. 3-light and 2-light windows, mainly C20, in mullioned style. C20

by an original plank screen. The rooms to each side of the stack have exposed
timber ceilings; main beams with wide chamfer and scroll-stops with bar,

fireplace with plain timber lintel and traces of tuck-pointing on the
brickwork. A newel stair beside the stack, and another stair in the service

accessible from the rest of the upper floor, and was probably used as a cheese
room initially. Main posts with long arched braces removed; cambered tie-
beams; arched braces to side and end walls at the corners; remains of diamond
mullioned windows. On the rear wall, one 3-light C18 casement window with
square leaded panes. The roof has clasped purlins, diminished principals and

end chimney-stack. Plain framing exposed: one upper room has a window with
ovolo-moulded mullions. Roof in 4 bays with clasped side purlins, numbered
principals, altered.
