To right is a single-storey C20 extension with flat roof. Two cells of a single-storey C16 house of unusually small proportions: in late C16 or early C17 an upper floor was inserted, the binding beam projecting through the front and back walls. Unchamfered floor joists, widely-spaced studding and clasped purlin roof. In late C18 the chimney was rebuilt, with a lintelled open fireplace in the hall, and a further cell was added beyond it.
