Description

Morlands is a timber-frame house, likely built in the 17th or 18th century. It has a plastered exterior and a flint plinth, topped with a steep black glazed pantile roof featuring gabled ends. There are internal brick chimney stacks at both ends of the building. The house is two storeys tall and has two windows, which include 19th century and modern casements, some of which have glazing bars. A central modern door provides entry. At the rear, there is a brick wing that dates from the late 19th century.
