Description
A 15th-century farmhouse, now a house, with later alterations and additions. The original house featured a jettied bay facing the street, and a west wing was added in the 16th century. A central range and a cross-wing were built in the 17th century. The right side of the building has roughcast over timber-framing, while the left and the cross-wing show large timber-framing with painted brick infill. The roof is covered in old plain tiles, with a brick ridge stack to the right of centre and a stone ridge stack to the left. A brick end stack is present on the cross-wing. The building is two storeys high, with a five-bay range set at a right angle to the street, and a five-bay cross-wing at the centre. A stable door is located to the left of centre. The windows are a mix of casements, with an Ipswich window on the first floor of the right return of the cross-wing. A 16th-century wood mullioned window is on the first floor to the left. The right return features a jettied first floor. The interior contains a 20th-century straight-flight staircase. The roof includes a Queen post design, and the 15th-century portion retains remains of dove boxes in the gable end. A wood store at the left end was formerly floored, and part of the original smoke bay is visible, incorporating a massive stone stack.
