Description

The property is a farmhouse, likely dating back to the 16th century or earlier, with significant additions and alterations in the 18th century and later. It is timber-framed and rendered with a red plain tiled roof. Extensions are visible at the rear. The property has two brick chimney stacks; the right-hand stack features four octagonal shafts with moulded capping. The front facade has a four-window arrangement of small-paned vertically sliding sash windows. An off-centre right entrance features a six-panelled door set in a moulded surround, topped with a flat canopy supported by brackets. A single-storey extension to the left incorporates a 20th-century casement window.
