History

Probably C18 and replacing a C17 farmhouse which was across the yard. The house was rebuilt c1850 with part of the C18 house retained as a wing. Older features are said to have been found inside during renovations, including a large fireplace with bressumer to the N wall. Part of a box-framed partition with lath and plaster infill is said to survive in the wing.

Central gabled porch with segmental arched opening; panelled door inside with small-pane overlight. Sixteen-pane hornless sash windows under flat heads with stone sills, those to upper storey immediately under the eaves. The rear elevation is 3-window and partly cut into the bank. The upper storey has C20 large-pane windows; similar window to L of lower storey, and 3-light window to R.
