House. C16 core; mid 018 extensions and facade. Timber-framed and rendered; plaintiles. 2 storeys and attics. 2 plain red brick chimney stacks set externally on the end walls. Wood modillion cornice. 3 gabled dormers with fluted bargeboards, spike finials, and 2-light casement windows with old square-leaded panes. 5 windows to first floor, and 4 similar, but deeper, to ground floor, all 2-light casements with square-leaded panes. Centrally-placed Edwardian half-glazed double doors. An open veranda with glazed roof along the whole ground floor front. 3 bays of C16 framing remain within the house: to the left of the central entrance is a truss with chamfered main beam and posts, both with run-off stops, and above it a heavy cambered tie-beam with arched braces removed; further to the left, another truss has arched braces in situ. Above it, in the attic, there is a marked change of floor levels. Both ends of the house were extended to give it the present symmetrical Georgian form. All the roof-timbers are covered. A timber-framed wing of indeterminate date at the rear.
