Former farmhouse. Early C16. 1½ storeys; 3-cell form. Timber-framed and rendered; ashlar-lined. Clay pantiles. An internal chimney-stack with a plain red brick shaft. Old 3-light casement windows and 2 large gabled dormers. 2 plank doors, one with ornate ironwork. At the west side, a timber-framed extension with a slighly lower roof-line, faced in C19 red brick, has slatted windows in segmental-arched openings. On the south, a small single-storey red brick extension. The frame of the main range is in 6 bays, including a narrow chimney-bay. Plain, heavy timbers exposed, but the development is not clear. The 2-bay room at the east end has a main beam with chamfer and ogee stops with bar and an open fireplace with timber lintel. During restoration of the house some years ago the site of a medieval open hearth was uncovered.
