Description
House. Dating back to the 16th century, it was altered in the 17th century and then refronted, extended, and altered in the 20th century. The house is timber-framed, with weatherboard cladding and red brick refronting. It has thatched roofs, incorporating some pantiles. Originally, it was likely a small single-ended hall house. It now consists of 3 hall bays, one storey plus attic, with a 2-bay, 2-storey crosswing to the right. The front has 20th-century casement windows, and there is one dormer window within the steeply pitched thatch. A 17th-century ridge stack is located to the left of the centre. The crosswing to the right has a taller ridge and a steeply pitched gable with a small-paned casement window. Projecting forwards is a pantiled lean-to addition, featuring a 2-light casement and an entrance in the left return. The right return of the wing has a horizontal sliding sash window and casements, with a half-hip to the rear. A later 2-storey wing to the left front has a hipped roof and scattered casement windows, plus an eyebrow dormer. Inside, the framing is exposed, though altered and partially rebuilt, with curved tension braces, jowled posts with arched braces to cambered tie beams, and curved windbraces.
