Description
This is a farmhouse dating from the late 15th to early 16th century, with alterations in the 17th and 19th centuries, and a 19th-century rear range. The house is timber-framed and stands on a flint plinth. Parts of the exterior are brick, render, and weatherboard, while the left-hand gable is brick and the right-hand gable is weatherboard. It has a tiled roof. The plan is based on a 3-room parallel arrangement, with a lean-to extension to the right and a 19th-century service range to the rear.
The two-storey front has a three-window arrangement. A flint plinth is visible on the ground floor, above which is rendered cladding. The first floor has close-studded timber framing with tension braces and two cills to small, blocked, late 16th-century clerestory windows set under the eaves. The left-hand gable is of English bond brick, while the right-hand gable is weatherboard. A 20th-century timber canopy with a hipped roof is positioned to the right of the left-hand window, sheltering a boarded front door. The ground floor has an 8/8-pane sash window in an exposed frame to the left, and 20th-century casement windows in the centre and to the right. First-floor windows include 19th-century casements and a central 3/6-pane sash window. The right-hand lean-to has a raking roof and a 19th-century timber-framed half gable. A lower rear wing contains a lateral stack and a gabled stair tower in the left-hand angle, alongside a late 20th-century conservatory linked to a 19th-century brick and tile service extension.
The interior has not been inspected. A retaining wall in the cellar contains the capital of a column, which may be from the chantry chapel built in 1433 and demolished in 1756, and which originated from Twydall Manor House.
