Description

This is a house, now divided into three cottages, dating back to the early 16th and 17th centuries. The original structure is timber-framed with brick and some wattle and daub infill, and has a roof that is a mix of thatched and plain tiles. It began as a three-bay hall house to which a 17th-century wing was added to the rear, towards the right-hand side, likely as a service area. A screen passage within the house was filled in with a stack, and a doorway has been bricked up to the left of that stack, above a rubble plinth.

The house has one and a half storeys, with jetties projecting from each end. A planked door is located to the right of the former screen passage, with two small, two-light casement windows to its right. Further along, a planked door is flanked by two-light casement windows, and there is a small two-light pantry window at the end of that bay. Three late 19th-century gabled dormers with two-light casements have been added to the roof. The roof itself is tiled, with a thatched ridge and tiled rear face. A large ridge stack is positioned off-centre, and two more modern stacks are located near each end of the building. The jetties feature carved corner brackets, and the upper, left-hand jetty has particularly elaborate carving and moulded joist ends.
