1. C15 moated hall house considerably altered in the C16 when a long 5 bay wing was added to the north, making an L-shaped plan. The south front of the main block has 3 gables of unequal size and a modern gabled porch. The north wing, now used as a barn, has a red brick wall with black brick diapering on the west side and has a timber-framed and plastered east wall, with a weather-boarded base. On the west side there is part of a brick crowstepped gable with a chimney stack behind it. To the west of this there is an early C17 wing with a small staircase projection at the west end. The windows are modern casements. Roofs tiled, with a large square internal chimney stack to the main block. The interior has the original doorway from the former hall to the buttery wing and there is an open fireplace in the west wall of the present kitchen. There is a considerable amount of original roof construction. Only part of the moat now remains. (RCHM 3).
