-- II

Former farmhouse, mid C16 in two stages. 2 storeys and attics. 3-cell cross- entry plan. Timber-framed and plastered; some areas of C18 cable-pattern pargetting. Thatched roof; an axial chimney with rebuilt C19 shaft of red brick. A thatched gabled casement dormer on the west side. Mainly C20 casements. C19 slated gabled entrance porch with carved bargeboards and spike finial; panelled door. The hall and service cells at the south end have plain mid C16 framing. Cranked archbraces beneath the tie-beam over the hall chamber, and queen post roof with square-set purlins. Circa 1550-1570, the parlour block was rebuilt with slightly superior framing: ovolo-moulded 1st floor joists and a double-ogee moulded bridging beam. Good windbraced clasped-purlin roof; the attic over the parlour cell is original but the remaining attics are a little later.
