Description
The farmhouse dates to around 1600, with alterations and extensions in the 18th century and mid-19th century, and a late 20th-century restoration. It is timber-framed with rendered infill on a rubble base, with replacement brick walling and machine-tiled roofs. Brick stacks were rebuilt in the 20th century. The building is arranged in an L-shape; the main range has four framed bays aligned north-east/south-west, with the two southernmost bays formed from a converted outbuilding. A single-bay wing adjoins the north-west side of the north-easternmost bay. A large chimney is situated at the junction of this wing and the main range, and into the adjacent bay, with an external rubble chimney at the south-west end added in the 20th century. The cross-wing is located at the north-east end and has two framed bays, with a partly enclosed lean-to outshut and an external rubble chimney on its north-east side.
The farmhouse is two storeys and has an attic. The timber framing features four rows of panels from sill to wall-plate, with short straight braces in some upper corners. The single-bay wing has a tie-beam truss with latticed struts at its gable end. The north-west gable end of the cross-wing has an altered collar and tie-beam truss with struts. The north-west front elevation has 20th-century wood-mullioned replacement windows. The main range has a 2-light and a 3-light window with a transom on the ground floor, and two 2-light windows and a 4-light window with a transom on the first floor. A large 3-light window with two transoms is at the gable end of the single-bay wing. A 20th-century gabled timber-framed porch with a four-centred head door sits adjacent to the single-bay wing. A cowl is present on the roof ridge. The cross-wing gable end has a 2-light window and a 3-light window with a transom on the ground floor, a 3-light first floor window and an attic light.
Inside, several chamfered main ceiling beams remain, along with large fireplaces. Two original wood-mullioned windows (now blocked) are visible on the first floor of the side elevation of the cross-wing, and one original window is on the ground floor of the main range.
