Village house probably with C17 origins enlarged in the C18 and then refurbished in the early C19. There are lower ceilings at the NE end, a vertical break in masonry at rear to suggest a phased building, but the detail of doors, stair etc. is late Georgian, possibly c. 1830. The house is said to have been at various times a school and the rectory.
