Description

This is a house dating from the 16th or early 17th century, which was raised, re-cased, and extended in 1837 for W.H. Clinton. It was subsequently altered in the 20th century. The house is timber-framed with a raised and re-cased red brick exterior, and has rendered sections. The roof is tiled. Originally comprising three bays and possibly open to the roof, it was extended to the right by one bay and is now two storeys and an attic.

The front features a large early 19th-century red brick external stack with a double plinth and two 20th-century pointed arched windows, along with kneelers to coped offsets with chamfered arrises. There are several 2 and 3 light recessed casement windows from the 19th and 20th centuries. A plank door is located in the added bay to the right. The eaves are detailed with dentils. A 19th-century cross axial ridge stack is situated to the right of the centre. An extruded stack at the right end has tumbled-in tiled offsets with chamfered arrises and twin shafts. The left gable has finialed bargeboards.

At the rear, a 20th-century red brick outshut, rounded at the corner, and a 20th-century weatherboarded lean-to addition are present. The first floor windows are 2 and 3 light casements with dentilled brick eaves. Two 2-light dormers with raking heads are also present.

The interior reveals exposed timber framing, jowled posts, tension braces, stop-chamfered joists, and a roof with clasped purlins. Attached to the rear of the 19th-century bay are former 19th-century stables and sheds, including a red brick bay with a gauged white brick round-headed opening within a relieving arch, weatherboarding beyond, and a pantiled roof. An L-shaped open range with cast-iron colonnettes and a hipped roof is also present, along with attached walls with doubly triangulated coping and rolled heads. A moat to the southwest marks what was a medieval manorial site.
