Farmhouse. Late C17 with C18 alterations and extensive late
C20 restoration and additions. Brick laid to Flemish bond;
hipped tile roof, renewed tiles to returns and rear, with
brick central valley stack and repaired return lateral stacks.
Double-depth plan.
EXTERIOR: garden front: 2 storeys, cellar and attic; 3-window
range. Centre breaks forward under pedimental gable; finely
moulded top brick cornice carried round gable, which has
string course and some vitrified headers to gable.
Central C20 bow window with tile roof; other windows with
3-light leaded casements, those to ground floor
segmental-headed; gable has segmental-headed window with
2-light casement. Changes in brickwork show changes in
fenestration, probably in C18.
Left return has C20 bow window to left of centre with 3-light
casement over; tall hipped roof dormer with, to left, a
gablet, possibly once the position of a stack, and to right a
moulded brick stack joined to roof by gablet.
Right return has C20 lean-to porch continued to rear as
single-storey wing with wide entrance recess and C20 windows,
C20 entrance to right end; 2-light casement above, and moulded
stack to left. Rear has segmental-headed entrance to left of
centre and C20 single-storey and 2-storey additions.
INTERIOR: recorded as having chamfered spine beams; 2-panel
and plank doors; flagged and wide-board floors; 2 open
fireplaces and early C19 fireplace to left bedroom; original
roof structure with valley either side of central stack. A
diagonal corner beam in present entrance hall suggests there
may have been a second balancing corner stack on the right
side of the house.
