Description

It dates from the late 17th century, with a refacing from the 18th century and a 19th-century addition on the right side.

The structure is L-shaped, comprising two framed bays on the left and a hipped projecting cross wing on the right. It stands two storeys tall, with end stacks and a central ridge stack. The first floor has two 3-light diamond leaded casements, while the ground floor features two 2-light segmental headed casements on the left and a 20th-century lean-to porch on the right with a half-glazed door. In the cross wing to the right, there is a 3-light leaded casement on the first floor, with a 3-light segmental headed casement below it on the ground floor.
