Farmhouse. Probably late C18/early C19, incorporating probably C17 range to rear, with further additions and alterations. Probably in 3 stages of build. Reddish-brown brick in Flemish bond with red brick dressings and plain-tile roof. Central staircase plan. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys with attic, 3 bays, that to centre breaks forward and is pedimented. Central entrance: 6-panel door with fanlight with radial glazing, doorcase has pilasters and open dentil pediment. 8/8 sashes throughout with flat arches of rubbed brick. 3-course first-floor band to outer bays. Flat and dentilled eaves bands, dentils to pediment. Semi-circular window with radial glazing bars. Hipped roof, internal and lateral stacks. Right return: ground floor has tripartite 6/6 sashes between 2/2 sashes under cambered arches and early small-pane bow window with glazing bars. First-floor band. First floor has 6/6 and 10/10 sashes under cambered arches. Rear: pair of tall windows, both under cambered arches, that to left is blocked, that to right has multi-pane glazing and continues through 2 floors. INTERIOR: rear staircase has early C19 stick balusters; front narrow open-well staircase has short stick balusters. Pull-up shutters to most rooms; 6 fielded-panel doors. Regency marble fireplace to front left room. Close studding to first floor at rear and plank doors. Further range to rear has massive chamfered beam, huge inglenook fireplace with meat hooks. Cellar to right. Rear range believed to have originally been a one-up, one-down charcoal burner's cottage. Bay window thought to have replaced cart opening. HISTORY: it would appear that a small cottage was expanded by adding a 2-storey timber-framed wing, to which was then added an L-shaped brick range incorporating farm office at rear right and present facade to front.
