Description

The building comprises two houses, originally a single farmhouse, dating from the 14th to 16th centuries. It is timber-framed and now clad in painted brick, with one wing partially rendered and tiled. The roof is tiled, with a half-hipped form, three gabled dormers, and chimneys at the rear and centre-left. A two-storey hipped porch sits centrally on the left side. The front features three metal casement windows on the first floor, four on the ground floor, and a blocked brick mullioned light in the right flank of the porch. The arched, roll-moulded doorway within the porch has a square surround and pilasters. The wing to the left has a hipped tiled roof and irregular wooden casement windows.

The interior is complex. The main range reveals a 14th or 15th-century hallhouse, with finely moulded 16th-century ceiling beams and tie beams, and a braced, trussed rafter roof, including some evidence of former crown posts. There are moulded brick fireplaces. The side wing features a range of three double rebated crown posts with intermediate trusses on cambered tie beams. Evidence of jettying and truncated moulded ceiling beams are visible on the ground floor. A fine crown post is located in the bay connecting the two wings, alongside an early 18th-century open well staircase with a winder, turned balusters, and a moulded handrail. A stone fireplace with rose-decorated spandrels is also present.
