History

Farm house between two long ranges of outbuildings, C17 to C18, altered in C20. It is suggested that in the whole 44m (144') range the original house occupied only 4.25m (14'), the part with the stairs being taken from the former cross-passage at the end of the lofted cowshed. This may be a C18 addition to a small C17 house, with the barn on the other side added at the same time, and a small front wing with parlour added in the C19. The barn front wall was formerly timber-framed.
