Description
House. Dating to the late 16th century, it has undergone later additions and alterations, with a restoration in the early 20th century. The house has timber framing with plaster infilling and a plain tile roof. The original south-facing main range is composed of 2 or 2 1/2 timber-framed bays. A timber-framed wing extends to the west end, projecting north and south and potentially built in multiple phases. This wing incorporates a two-storey "lean-to" at its south end. A broad, two-storey timber-framed rear wing extends to the east, abutting the rear section of the west wing.
The house is two storeys high, with a garret and cellar, and sits on a stone plinth. The timber frame is close-studded, with a cill and midrail, but without eaves, on the west wing, which are lower than those of the main range. The west wing and "lean-to" are jettied to the south. The main range is also jettied to the south, with the jetty returning on a moulded dragon post along the entire east front. The main range has a gable. The roof of the west wing is hipped to the south and gabled to the north, with a lower ridge than the main range. The east wing is gabled to the north. A multiple brick stack is located on the front slope of the roof towards the west end of the main range.
The south side has irregular fenestration with four leaded windows. A small light is present at the junction of the west wing and "lean-to." A single rectangular five-light mullioned and transomed oriel window, supported on shaped brackets, is on the west wing. The main range features a four-light and a three-light casement window. A ribbed door is located on the east side of the west wing, leading towards the main range. A boarded door is set within a four-centred-arched architrave with hollow spandrels, on the north end of the east gable of the main range. The interior was not inspected.
