Description

A 16th-century farmhouse, now divided into two dwellings, incorporates a cottage and is constructed of colourwashed brick with pantile roofing. It presents as a long, single range of five cells, with two chimney bays and a stair turret. The building has crowstepped gables.

The east-facing facade features axial stacks positioned between the first and second cells, and between the fourth and fifth cells. The first bay at ground level contains an early 19th-century classical doorway with an open pediment; the upper part of the door is glazed with glazing bars. A stair turret was added to the left chimney bay and is built of brick in an irregular bond, with a crowstepped gable and a four-light rectangular stair window with leaded lights, crown glass, and wood mullions, with one casement. A small two-light opening is found in the gable. Three-light casements with pintle hinges are present in cells two, three, and five, while a 20th-century three-light casement is in cell four. Doorways are situated in cells three and five. First-floor openings are also three-light, with some early latches in cells one, two, four, and five. A two-light opening is above the doorway in cell five.

The right return, facing the road, displays colourwashed red brick; the ground floor features a large, rectangular blocked opening with a square hood mould incorporating figure stops. A small attic window is set within chamfered brick, also with a hood mould. The left return, facing south, has a two-light opening to the first floor on the left-hand side, and a small rectangular light to the attic. An internal stack features a large, stepped lozenge shaft.

The west-facing rear has various unsympathetic additions, including one to the central bay featuring terracotta arms and a shield. Large brick buttresses are present in the center and at the angle to the right. The southern end bay contains an early 19th-century sash window within an earlier rectangular opening, with six panes arranged 3x3. Two gabled roof dormers with two-light casements are also present.

Internally, the ground floor has opposing doorways to the central and fifth cells, chimneys with large enclosed fireplaces, an inserted staircase to cell five, and a 19th-century staircase to the stair turret. The first floor includes a doorway from the stair turret to the chimney bay with a four-centred arch and a chamfered doorframe; the second cell features heavy ceiling joists and a timber studded partition blocking a four-centred doorway. The fourth cell may have a moulded tie beam to the stack, and a staircase is located in front of the stack. Roofs to cells one to three have large rafters and collars, while cells four and five have roofs with two tiers and butt purlins.

An 18th-century game larder and range are attached to the north-west angle, built of flint with red brick dressings and pantiles. The game larder is square with a pyramidal roof of plain tiles and a central louvred lantern. A doorway to the west is under a segmental arch with a rectangular light above, and small oblong openings are on the north and south. Inside, the game larder has an earth floor and hooks.

A single-storeyed range under pantiles is attached to the east, with no openings facing the road; it has five doorways to the south.
