History

Early C17 house with later C17 rear wing. Main chimney wall was taken down and rebuilt in mid C20, with loss of fireplace and winding stair. Fox & Raglan illustrate plan before the loss of the chimney wall. They note the front range as a probable solar wing to a medieval hall, since replaced. They found a 2-room plan with post-and-panel partitions to each floor with Tudor door heads, 6-light diamond-mullion window, and 3-light early C17 ovolo-moulded mullion window, stepped hollow moulded stops to beam chamfers, and tenoned collars to trusses. They also noted especially the massiveness of the woodwork. There was a timber partiton between the front range and the later rear wing, its breadth possibly showing the width of a lost medieval hall.
Part of the Beaufort estate until 1900.
