South-east front: painted brick ridge stack off-centre to left. 3-window front; C20 three-light wooden and metal casements, and small first-floor casement off-centre to left; C20 half-glazed door between first and second windows off- centre to left. C19 wing at rear with lean-to in angle; some timber framing visible at rear. Interior: largely complete timber frame including cross walls, posts with large jowls, and collar and tie-beam trusses with queen struts; ground-floor room with chamfered ceiling-beam and joists; large open C16 fireplace invigorating reeded lintel with billet-decorated top edge; introduced C17 panelling with fluted frieze and introduced C18 wall cupboard with raised and fielded panel and L-hinges.
