Two C19 hung sashes to the gable end and four to the side elevation. The adjoining range to the north is mid C17 but replaced an open-hall. Timber framed, rendered with half-hipped tiled roof. Two storeys with the first floor jettied and the jetty beam boxed. One hung sash of sixteen panes to each storey. Doorway possibly on side of original entry to cross-passage. Interior: The plan is of an open-hall with a parlour crosswing added or rebuilt in early C17. The open-hall would itself have been rebuilt probably mid C17.
