Description

House, likely dating from the 17th century or earlier, with later additions and alterations. The house is timber-framed and plastered, with some decorative pargeting and weatherboarding to the right wall. It has red plain tiled roofs and four red brick chimney stacks. The building has a complex plan, now featuring two gabled ranges to the left and a projecting range to the right. The projecting range is two storeys high and has an external central chimney stack. The ground floor of the left ranges has two 20th-century forward gables to the left, containing a 20th-century casement window and a 20th-century panelled door. A 20th-century central arched timber porch is present, with a gable above containing a three-light casement window, decorated with parget plaster. To the right of the porch is a red tiled lean-to extension with a single three-light casement. The first floor has a 1:1:2 window range, with all windows being 20th-century vari-light leaded casements. It is believed that the house contains an original panelled room on the ground floor, with a moulded cornice and stop-chamfered bridging joists with run-out stops.
