Description
This is a Grade II listed house, originally built in the 16th century as an open-hall house, with a jettied crosswing and an early 19th-century lower eastern end. The structure features timber frames filled with painted red brick, with painted brick used as casing for the ground floor of the western range and the eastern end. The building has steep old red tile roofs and is a long two-storey structure facing south, with a single-storey 19th-century section at the eastern end. It has prominent diagonally-set three tall chimneys and three chamfered narrow windows with lattice glazing.
The western range includes a large projecting chimney at the western gable, and a band above the ground floor windows indicates the former two-bay open hall, which has an unheated service room and a chamber above. A broad chamfered axial beam supports an inserted floor. The windows are irregularly placed, featuring flush small-pane Yorkshire sliding casements. There is a one-bay block adjoining to the east, which is jettied to the south but was formerly jettied to the north as well, though it has been underbuilt. Each floor has one similar window, with the ground floor window extended by the width of a former doorway on the west. The building has heavy jowled posts, clasped-purlin roofs, and square framing to the walls.
