Description
This is a mid-17th century house, with an 18th-century extension to the east, and an early 20th-century garage and covered way. It is timber-framed with roughcast render, and pargetting to the east wing. The house has steep old red tile roofs, with the east wing featuring a hip roof to its east end. The garage and covered way are thatched. It is a two-story, T-shaped building set back from the road and facing south, with lower eaves to the hall range. It includes a projecting gabled porch in the angle of the west cross-wing, a large internal chimney at the junction of the wings, a two-story east wing two windows long with higher eaves than the hall range, and a single-story, hipped-roof garage to the south, linked to the east wing by a covered way.
The south front features exposed purlin ends on the gable of the west wing, a four-light casement window on the ground floor, a three-light similar window on the first floor, and a three-light window with ovolo moulding on the first floor near the right-hand side of the west wing. Leaded glazing is present in the windows. There are three-light windows in the hall range, and a door and two windows to the east wing.
The interior features exposed timbers, with chamfered and stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, and stopped joists and beams in the parlour of the west wing. A brick fireplace is in this room, together with a chamber above. A service room is at the rear of the west wing. The hall likely served kitchen purposes, and the stair rose from it. Originally, the rooms in the upper part of the two-bay hall range were separated by a tie-beam at waist height and were either for storage or entered by separate stairs, the east one presumably external. The east wing was likely added as a dairy.
