Description

Mortons Place and Morton House comprise two houses, originating in the 17th century or earlier and later faced with brickwork in the 18th century. A more recent alteration and extension have created a separate house within a rear wing to the northwest. The building is timber-framed, with a red brick facade, and has a steeply pitched roof covered with old red tiles, hipped at the west end.

The main house is a two-storey building with a cellar, originally consisting of two rooms with an internal chimney and a lobby-entry plan. It faces south and has a lower, two-storey, service wing to the north, also hipped. The south front is symmetrical, with three windows on the first floor and two on the ground floor, flanking a rectangular brick porch with a hipped, lean-to roof. The windows are three-light flush casements, with a single-light window above the porch. They have leaded glazing. A battened door leads to the porch, and casement windows and a six-panel fielded door are located on the west elevation of Morton House. The property is prominent at the entrance to the village.
