Wrongly shown on OS map as Perd Farmhouse. Farmhouse. C15, altered late C16 and C17 and subsequently. Timber-frame with wattle and daub and painted brick panels, plain tiled roof and brick stacks, one off-centre, one at rear and one on the left wing. Irregular U-plan with central hall, solar cross-wing at left and remodelled service end. 2 storeys. Central hall, probably of 3 framed bays, with 2 leaded casement windows to the left of a C19 lean-to on the ground floor (the ground in front of the house to the right has been excavated and the lean-to here houses a basement); 4-light mullion and transome window, 3-light casement and gabled dormer to first floor. Solar, cross-wing at left with a C19 5-light bow window and a 3-light leaded casement above; jowl posts and one curved brace on gable end; curved braces on side elevation. Gabled wing at right of rendered brick was formerly a stable and it obscures and partly replaces the service end of the house; door with cambered head at left and shuttered window to right. Door now in rear of cross-wing. Interior Hall has full cruck truss with collar beam; further evidence of another cruck truss in the central first floor room. Chamfered beams with scroll stops to ground floor centre room. The first floor of the solar cross-wing is partly ceiled but retains curved wind-braces.
