A house, dating from circa 1600, was significantly extended in the mid-19th century, although the later brick and tile-hanging extension to the east is not included in this listing. The original part of the house is timber-framed and rests on a 19th-century brick base in a Sussex bond. The upper floor is tiled, predominantly with diamond point tiles, although the lower courses feature plain tiles. The roof is tiled. It has two storeys and two windows, featuring triple casement windows with 19th-century architraves but 20th-century glazing. A former gabled porch on the right-hand side has been converted into a window. The side elevation shows a gable with carved wooden bargeboards, along with a casement window to the attic, one to the first floor, and a 19th-century doorcase with a wood and tile weatherhood.

Inside, a central ground floor room features a spine beam with a 2-inch chamfer and run-out stops. It contains a large open fireplace and a smaller, later cambered-headed fireplace, with some of the original wall frame visible. A south ground floor room displays exposed ceiling beams of square section, which may be medieval. The north ground floor room has an axial beam and a 17th-century three-plank door on pintle hinges. A 19th-century staircase has square balusters. The first floor reveals an exposed top of wall plate and axial beams. There is also another three-plank door and a fireplace dating from around 1840, alongside some wide floorboards. The original roof retains original rafters of square section, likely medieval, along with purlins and angled queen struts.
