Description
This is a former 17th century farmhouse. It is built with a timber frame and originally plastered, with a later rendering imitating ashlar. The house has deep bargeboards with pierced scalloping and spike finials, and a thatched roof. It was originally a three-room layout, following the lobby entry plan. It is two storeys high, featuring old three-light mullion and transom casement windows without glazing bars, and a plank entrance door. There is an internal chimney stack, with a later gable stack on the right side.
To the right, a one-storey addition dating to the late 19th century is constructed of red brick and has an embattled parapet, with a single segmental-headed window. Attached to the right gable end is a one-storey range of outbuildings, built with plastered clay lump and a pantiled roof.
The interior has been altered in the Victorian period. The upper floor reveals plain but substantial studding, with straight wall braces at the service end. The parlour ceiling has regularly spaced on-edge joists, which appear later than the main structure. Plain square joists are visible at the service end, while joists in the hall have been concealed. Original newel stairs and several 17th century doors remain, and are painted. An early 19th century fireplace with a moulded surround and corner roundels is in the hall.
