Farmhouse. Late C17 with alterations of early C18, C19 and C20. Red brick in Flemish bond with pantile roof having brick coped gables and kneelers with gable stacks. Parallel ranges. 2 storey with garrets having first floor band and dog tooth eaves course. The front was originally of 5 bays and the blocked openings can be seen. The 3 bay alterations date to C19. Central C20 half glazed door with large hood, flanked by single margin light sashes. To first floor are 3 similar windows. All windows have segmental heads. The rear range is much altered but at the base are large stones, perhaps indicating a remnant of an earlier timber framed phase. Interior has moulded oak beam in front range. Very fine dog leg stair with 3 turned and knopped balusters per tread, moulded handrails and carved string. The roof has largely been renewed in C19.
