Originally single storey and attic but roof raised to form two full storeys. Framing: originally of three panels from sill to wall-plate with short straight braces across the upper corners. Additional row of panels added when roof raised. Collar and tie-beam truss with struts exposed at south end. East front-elevation: there are two large 2-light casements with transom lights and plank weatherings on the ground floor, and a pair of similar smaller windows and another 2-light.casement on the first floor. The main entrance in the central bay has a half-glazed door. There is a C20 lean-to addition at the south end, partly enclosing the external chimney with three single-light casements in its east front elevation. Interior recorded to have several C17 panelled doors and a bread oven (now blocked) in the south end chimney. The building was formerly known as Lower House. (RCHM, Herefs, Vol III, p 210, item 20).
