Description
This is a house with a late 16th-century cross-wing, a hall range dating from the early 17th century, and a likely 18th-century addition to the right. The construction varies; it is probably timber-framed with rendered flush quoins to the centre and cross-wing, rendered brick to the right, and roughcast to the centre and cross-wing. The roof is of old plain tiles, with brick ridge stacks on the cross-wing and to the right of the centre, and an end stack on the right. The house has two storeys and comprises a two-bay hall range, a two-storey cross-wing, and a two-storey, two-window addition to the right. A plank door is located on the left, covered by a flat hood supported by brackets. The main range has irregular window openings with casements. The cross-wing windows are wooden cross-windows. The interior was not inspected but is noted to contain a late 17th-century staircase with turned-baluster balustrade and 17th-century panelling.
