Description
This is a 17th-century farmhouse with a 19th-century brick addition to the south. The original structure is timber-framed and has a later white-painted brick facing. It has an old tile roof with stacks at the north, south, and west, and includes two gabled dormers. The farmhouse comprises a main block with three bays, and a two-bay southern arm and a single bay to the west. It is one-and-a-half storeys high, featuring casement windows with segmental heads – one in the western wing and one in the southern wing. A 20th-century porch is situated in the angle of the building's "L" shape. The interior retains a bread oven within the southern stack.
