Description
This is a probable late medieval timber-framed farmhouse, likely dating to the later Middle Ages. It has been altered and refaced over time, including in the 18th century. The building comprises two parallel ranges, with the southern range dating to the 18th century. It is two storeys high. The northern range has a steeply pitched tiled roof and an external brick chimneystack. Both ranges are now faced with red brick at ground floor level and tile hanging on the first floor. There are three modern casement windows and modern doorcases.
