Former farmhouse. Circa 1600. 2 storeys and attics to main range, 2 storeys to rear: 3-cell lobby-entrance plan, with a later service wing behind, making a T-shaped form. Timber-framed and rendered with plaintiled roofs: plain bargeboards. A large, plain shaft surmounted by 4 chimney-pots to the internal chimney-stack. 2-light and 4-light early C19 casement windows in C17 style: mullion-and-transome with small ovolo mouldings. 2 gabled dormers with plain bargeboards and casement windows. A slightly recessed partly glazed door with plain jambs, bolection-moulded frieze and flat pediment to surround. A small single-storey lean-to with pantiled roof on the west side contains the present entry. Framing exposed inside: ovolo-moulded main beams in both main ground-storey rooms with plain joists also exposed to the west of the stack. The service area at the west end of the front range has been remodelled, but the housings for one diamond-mullioned window are visible. Reused and replacement timbers in rear range. Adjoining the south-west corner of the house, and surrounding the front garden, an early C19 low red brick wall with rounded copings and a dentil cornice.
