Description
This is an early 17th-century former farmhouse, with possible medieval origins. It is a one-story building with attics, constructed with a timber frame and roughcast rendering. The roof is thatched, punctuated by three 19th-century dormers featuring late 20th-century casement windows. Two axial chimneys are present, with shafts rebuilt in the 20th century using red brick. The windows are 20th-century casements. A thatched gabled entrance porch, constructed in the early 20th century, features a boarded and battened door. The house appears to have undergone several phases of construction and has been extended to the right, alongside the addition of a service wing to the rear. The interior has not been inspected.
