Farmhouse, once manor house, probably mid/late C16. Red brick in English bond: stepped buttresses and a parapet gable to right. A splayed set-back at 1st floor, and another at mid height of 1st storey. The left hand gable is plastered: evidence for 2-tier side-purlin roof. Plaintiled roof: an axial late C16 or early C17 chimney of red brick, the shaft mainly rebuilt in C19. 2 storeys. 3 windows. Mainly mid C19 small pane sashes with cambered heads: a horizontally sliding small-pane casement to right. Some blocked original window openings with plain soldier arches above deep oak lintels, and a similar original blocked doorway to right. A mid C20 entrance porch, gabled and with a Venetian window: 6-panelled door in side wall. To left is a section of integral C16 walling about 2m high, indicating that the building was originally fully integrated with the barn (see following item) now linked corner-to-corner with the house. The house stands close to the north-east corner of the medieval moat of the earlier manor house. Interior not examined.
