Description
This is a 15th-century timber-framed and plaster house with a red tile roof, located on Peldon Church Road. Originally two storeys high with attics, the house was gabled and had a projecting upper storey to the front, though this is now partially obscured by underbuilding. It has a single bay of windows, now featuring modern casements. Some original timber framing remains visible on the north side, set within 19th-century brick nogging. Lean-to extensions have been added to the south side of the house.
