Tudor Limes With Forecourt Walls

This is a house, likely dating from the 16th century, with extensions from the late 17th century. It was altered in the 18th and early 19th centuries, and again in the 20th century. The house is timber framed with plaster infill; some rear elevations are red brick. The roofs are steeply pitched, covered in pantiles to the front section.

The house comprises two main blocks: a symmetrical, five-bay lobby entrance range to the front, and a longer, earlier range extending further to the left. It has two storeys and an attic. The ground floor features a central glazed entrance, framed by a lugged architrave with a pulvinated frieze and a pediment. Tall, two-light architraved windows with single glazing bars are also on the ground floor. Original leaded cross casements with metal frames are found on the first floor. The exterior has a plinth and boxed eaves. A central ridge stack has been altered at the top. There is a conservatory on the left end and a small 20th-century addition on the right.

The rear range includes a shallow gable to the right end, built of 18th-century brick with a plat band. A first-floor sash window with double glazing bars, cambered head, exposed plates, and double purlins is present here. A multiform stack is located on the rear ridge behind the front stack; a section of sham framing is visible towards the left end, and the rear is hipped with a 20th-century stack.

Inside, the front right-hand room contains a stop-chamfered cross axial binding beam and reset 18th-century panelling. A lugged fireplace surround from the early 19th century is located in the front left room; the rest of the interior was not inspected.

Attached to the front corners are 18th-century forecourt walls of colourwashed red brick, with offset plinths, rounded coping, and approximately 1-2 metres high. Tall end piers are topped with ball finials.
