Description
Farmhouse, dating to the late 16th and 17th centuries, with alterations in the 18th and mid-20th centuries. It is now a large house. The building is largely brick, although the east wing is timber framed with brick infill. It has old tile gabled roofs. The design is L-shaped, with a 17th-century extension forming an internal angle and a four-bay timber-framed wing to the east. The house is two storeys high with attics. Strings are present at the first-floor and eaves levels. A chimney is located on the ridge of the timber-framed section, to the left of centre. Most windows are sash windows with glazing bars, alongside casements also with glazing bars.
The north front has a gable on the right, featuring a blocked circular light with quadrant key blocks within the tympanum. A 17th-century wooden mullioned and transomed window of eight lights is present on the first floor, with a string carried up to form a drip mould. Below is a late 18th-century five-pane sash window, set within older bricked openings. To the left are two bays of smaller two-light casements, with an 18th-century window to the left on the ground floor. An early 18th-century two-panelled door is set within an eared architrave to the right. Further to the left is a plastered gable, with a small, one-storey gabled projecting room on the ground floor, a sash window, and a small upper two-light casement and service door to the left of the gable. The south front has a blocked oval light in the tympanum of the gable on the left, a sash window on the first floor, and a 20th-century small-paned French door on the ground floor. Adjacent to the right is a one-bay extension in the angle, with a sash window above an early 19th-century door, partly glazed. The wing to the right has a timber-framed upper section and a brick lower section, featuring two-light upper casements and two 17th-century wooden mullioned and transomed windows on the ground floor. A 20th-century paned garden door is on the right. The interior includes large moulded beams on the ground floor and a fine, late 16th-century framed newel staircase. The house occupies a moated site.
