Description
This is a farmhouse dating from the late 14th or early 15th century, with alterations made in the 16th century and the mid-19th century. It is timber framed. The front elevation is clad in banded plain and fishscale tiles on both floors, except for the ground floor of the right-hand bay, which is red brick in a Flemish bond pattern. It has a plain tile roof. The farmhouse originally comprised two open hall bays with a storeyed bay to the right end. The left-hand bay was rebuilt in the 19th century, and an oast-house has been added to the left. The building is two storeys high with a garret, built on a rendered plinth. The roof is hipped with a gablet to the left, and half-hipped with a gablet to the right. A multiple brick stack with a fillet sits in front of the roof, offset to the right. The windows are irregularly placed, including two three-light and one two-light 19th-century casements. There is also a three-light mullion window with diamond subsidiary mullions, positioned beneath the stack. Two adjacent panelled doors, each with two top lights and a flat bracketed hood, are located beneath the stack. A 20th-century ribbed door with a flat hood is at the left end of the building. The oast-house is in two sections; one is weatherboarded, the other is tile-hung, and both are hipped to the front. The interior features exposed timber framing. There is a moulded first-floor end-of-hall beam and evidence of a cornice. A moulded central crown-post and pilaster crown-post are also present, along with sous-laces. A part of a newel staircase is located behind the stack.
