Description

A 15th-century house with an H-plan configuration. It is two storeys high, with the hall range having a ridge higher than the cross wings. The east cross wing has jettied elements supported by knees, and features fully exposed timber framing. A casement window with beaded detail is visible on a tie beam, while a painted four-centred doorway is also present. The roofs are ridged and gabled, with a main chimney stack constructed of red peg-tile bricks. An original ovolo-moulded casement window remains on the first storey of the east wing. The hall range incorporates an 18th-century door framed by a mutuled pediment and a triglyphed entablature, adorned with reeded Doric half columns, a lion-mask knocker, and small-paned sash windows under flat lead tops. Two pairs of small-paned sash windows are on the first storey. The west wing includes a semi-hexagonal bay window on the first storey with small-paned sashes, and a Victorian shop front on the ground storey.
