House. C15, with alterations of C18 and c.1970. A small open- hall house with cross-wing. Hall one-and-a-half storeys with attic, wing 2 storeys. Timber-framed and rendered. Thatched roof, hipped to left and at rear, with eyebrow casement dormer and axial chimney of red brick. C20 casements and pantiled- roofed one-storey entrance porch with glazed door. The house has lap-jointed arch-bracing, an archaic technique surviving into the C15 in the Dalham area; perhaps the work of one carpenter and his apprentices. The original roof of coupled rafter type, later rebuilt with clasped purlins. Small, blocked, 2-light mullioned window openings with shutter rebates. Major alterations including virtual re-roofing C18, and again, with rear extension c.1970.
