Former farmhouse, C15 or early C16 core with alterations of mid C16. 3-cell plan. One storey and attics. Timber-framed and plastered. Thatched roof with axial chimney of red brick. Mid C20 casement with small panes; two flat-roofed bay windows. C20 thatched gabled porch at lobby entrance position with boarded and battened door. A fragmentary open hall of 2 bays at the centre of the building: smoke-blackened coupled rafter roof with evidence for a hip to left; the house must have been of 2-cell form. An altered original diamond-mullioned hall window. The open truss is missing apart from posts with arch brace mortices. A cell was added to left in mid C16: arch windbraced close studding and heavy lodged unchamfered floor joists. A cell was added to right later in C16 in place of the original service cell. Diamond-mullioned windows also at this stage. Floor joists slightly less massive, also an upper floor was inserted in the hall.
