Description
The Druce is an early 15th to 16th century hall house, originally consisting of three bays with a solar. It was altered in the 16th or 17th century with the insertion of a floor. The house was renovated and restored in the 20th century. It is two storeys high and has small casement windows. Some original windows featuring diamond mullions have been restored, and there is an original doorway. The thatched roof is half-hipped at the northwest end and incorporates central and end chimney stacks. The interior retains original features.
