Description

This is a late medieval hall house, altered significantly in the 17th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The building is primarily timber-framed and plastered, with a roof of handmade red clay tiles. Later sections are constructed in stock brick and red brick in a Flemish bond pattern. The house is aligned approximately northeast to southwest and consists of a two-bay hall with an inserted floor, a southwest crosswing dating to the early 17th century with a chimney stack at the junction, a later extension beyond in stock brick with a separate end chimney stack, and a northeast crosswing of red brick with two chimney stacks in the southwest wall, dating to the 19th century. A lean-to extension with a catslide roof and a tiled gabled porch both date to the 19th century.

The hall is a single story with attics, while the remainder of the house is two stories high. The southeast elevation features a jettied southwest crosswing. Below the jetty, the wall is clad in red brick and includes an oriel window with seven fixed lights and one early 17th-century wrought iron casement, with ovolo moulding. Above this are a restored window, flush with the wall, and three 20th-century leaded casement windows. The porch has a glazed four-panel door and carved bargeboards with trefoil piercings. There are also three 19th-century Gothick windows with four-centred arched heads, leaded glass (some coloured with marginal lights). On the first floor are two 20th-century leaded casement windows and a dormer window.

The northwest elevation is weatherboarded on the hall, and plastered and exposed brick elsewhere. A restored early 17th-century window with two ovolo-moulded mullions and surrounds is on the first floor of the southwest crosswing, along with an introduced casement. All other windows on this elevation are 20th-century leaded casements. The date 1424 is inscribed in modern plaster on the gable of the southwest crosswing. The floor of this crosswing has exposed horizontal section joists. The inserted floor in the hall has an axial beam, plain-chamfered with lamb's tongue stops, and exposed joists of deep section supported on clamps, originally plastered to the soffits. In the 19th century the house became a lodge associated with Pettitts Hall, and much of the southeast elevation's appearance dates from that period.
