Description
The house is a manor house dating to the 17th century, with a core forming a cross wing. A main range was added in the late 17th century and remodelled in the 18th century, with a further extension added later. The cross wing is built of brick with a tiled roof, while the main range has a brick facade with brick dentil eaves, brick coped gables, and a slate roof with integral brick chimneys.
The main range, facing the road, is three storeys high with a three-window front. It features late 18th century 6/3 sash windows with moulded surrounds and segmental heads on the first floor. The ground floor has 6/6 sash windows, and a two-light metal casement window on the second floor. A five-panelled entrance door with a glazed upper panel is set beneath a projecting half-hipped tiled canopy supported by brackets.
The garden front is similar to the main front, except that the central windows on the first and second floors have been blocked. The ground floor has a four-panelled door in a central bay, itself under a gabled slate-roofed projecting canopy.
The 17th century cross wing is to the left. It is three bays wide, with two storeys, an attic, and a cellar.
The west side has two 18th century mullion windows with ovolo moldings and iron glazing bars. The opening to the right has been bricked up, and a 6/6 sash window is located to the left. A gable return to the north features late 18th century segmental brick openings containing mullion windows with casements at the first and attic floor levels, and a 6/6 sash window at ground floor. The south gable has a 19th century mullion window at first and attic floor levels, and a mullion and transom window at ground floor.
Inside the 17th century cross wing, the cellar has chamfered bridging beams with ogee chamfered stops, and a 17th century boarded and ledged door with a sliding latch. On the ground floor, the kitchen has cyma moulding with ogee-chamfer stops on the timberwork. The first floor has a deep-chamfered bridging beam and cross bridging beams with ogee-chamfer stops. The attic floor reveals a double trenched purlin roof, with an internal truss featuring small twin raking struts below the collar.
The service wing to the east has a four-bay extension incorporating wall frames and a bridging beam from a surviving 17th century timber-framed bay. This has been over-roofed and extended in the 19th century with a roof of three king-post trusses. The wing contains a complete cider press and mill. A former laundry wing to the south-west is of brick with a tiled roof. It has two bays with a single trenched purlin roof including a late 17th century internal truss with raking struts below the collar, and a large integral brick gable-end chimney to the south.
