Description
The Vision House is a late mediaeval hall-house with additions dating to the 18th century and a 19th-century extension to the left. The front elevation appears 19th century, featuring stuccoed (pebbledashed) walls and a steeply pitched tiled roof with gablets and a projecting hipped gable. A 17th-century chimneystack is present. The front has three modern casement windows. The 18th-century range incorporates both sliding and ordinary sash windows, and features simple doorcases. The rear elevation exhibits some visible timber framing with curved brace detail. Internally, exposed timbers are a notable feature.
