Description
House, originally dating from around 1360 and constructed for William Stanley, with later additions and alterations, now used as farm buildings. The building incorporates a two-story north solar wing and a north-east chapel with a chamber above. The east wall of the original main hall now forms part of the west wall of the farm buildings, which include a south extension. The solar wing features angle buttresses and a lowered roof. The west gable end has a tall pointed window with a hood mould, now blocked but likely originally containing two lights. Inserted doors, windows, and pitching holes are visible on the north and south walls; the north wall is largely hidden by ivy. The east gable end is timber-framed. The chapel boasts a timber-framed gable with pigeon holes and a 17th-century external stair. A wall, belonging to the demolished hall, contains two straight-headed windows, a south entrance to a through passage, a segmental-headed opening with a pointed arch and hood mould to the inner face, and a segmental-pointed entrance to the north end, which may have served as a solar stair. The interior of the solar wing features corbels in the ground floor rooms. The upper chamber and chapel chamber have tie beam and collar trusses with struts, through purlins, and wind braces. Traces remain of a north central fireplace, an east gable-end window, and a Tudor-arched entrance between the chambers, complete with a wide-boarded door and strap hinges. The roof trusses of the south farm buildings are similar to those of the solar wing. Despite only partial survival, the buildings represent a significant medieval remnant.
